POPPY The Beating of Wings (60′)
A late-night performance celebrating the 40th anniversary of Andrew Poppy’s iconic album The Beating of Wings, reimagined in a chamber version especially for this Festival.
A must-see for fans of Brian Eno, Laurie Anderson and Kraftwerk, this intimate audiovisual event connects Poppy’s pioneering post-minimalist sound with the energy and immediacy of live performance. Insistent rhythms, interlocking patterns and shifting textures draw the listener into music that moves between classical experimentation and the electronic pop landscape of the 1980s.
Poppy joins a specially assembled band to revisit his distinctive musical world, bringing fresh detail and new possibilities to an album whose restless invention continues to resonate.
