Liverpool’s Capstone Theatre is set to become a hub for adventurous sound this autumn with a trilogy of live electronic music performances featuring three of the UK’s most acclaimed and innovative artists.
Across October and November, audiences will be treated to performances from Pye Corner Audio, an Electronic Music Double Bill featuring Jo Johnson and Polypores, and pioneering electronic musician Scanner, offering a rare opportunity to experience some of the most exciting names in contemporary electronic music in an intimate setting. The series begins TOMORROW on Saturday 10th October with Pye Corner Audio, the acclaimed project of British producer Martin Jenkins.
Known for his haunting blend of vintage synthesisers, post-punk influences and retro-futurist electronics, Jenkins has built an international following through his distinctive sound that evokes forgotten television broadcasts, library music and the pioneering work of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. His atmospheric live performances combine nostalgic visuals with analogue-inspired soundscapes, creating an immersive experience that feels both unsettling and strangely familiar. Takes me back to watching Dr Who as a child with the late Jon Pertwee in the role.
With all three concerts beginning at 7.30pm and tickets priced at £16.50, the series offers Liverpool audiences the chance to experience a diverse spectrum of electronic music — from analogue nostalgia and cinematic atmospheres to improvised modular synthesis and boundary-pushing sound art.
Hosted at Liverpool Hope University’s Capstone Theatre, the trilogy reinforces the venue’s reputation for presenting adventurous and thought-provoking performances that introduce audiences to some of the most innovative artists working in contemporary music today.
