Presentation: Selected Ambient Walks: Aphex Twin, The Cornish Landscape


October 09, 2018 - October 09, 2018 | Pałac Krzysztofory

Richard D. James’ music has rich and vital connections to the folk history of Cornwall, England, via song names, album art, videos, gnomic interviews and cryptic press releases. Writer John Doran explores the deeper connections between Aphex Twin and the idiosyncratic Cornish heterotopias, from St Michael's Mount to the Gwennap Pit via the Logan Rock. This is a story of untold riches, the 80-ton granite boulder that caused a national scandal, a petrified giant, a vengeful witch and, of course, Brexit.
