Thurston Moore:12x12
Music for Twelve 12-String guitars

Arch-experimentalist & former Sonic Youth frontman Thurston Moore leads a symphony of 12-string guitars in this two-part programme – the first half acoustic, the second electric.

That Barbican show sounds super cool. Anyone knows who the other players will be? Will you be taping it Stu? Would love to hear the result of it.

Sounds positively megatonic indeed! :eek: A Branca/Chatham-esque army with 12-string weapons!


I vote to add Roger McGuinn, Peter Buck and Johnny Marr to the stew of most likely more avant-degenerate 12-string players. :D


If no recording surfaces I will shoot myself in the face.

March 18th - Tania Chen / Thurston Moore / David Toop / Jon Liedecker - Cafe OTO, London

Stu, how was the 12x12 gig?

It was brilliant!

Started with a nice acoustic set. 12 identical guitars with Thurston leading the way conducting to the other 11 performers. The electric set was my favourite though and it was funny seeing 11 other people copying Thurston's trademark screwdriver and chisel actions and finishing with a feedback session! Beautiful projections and sound. Also interesting seeing James Sedwards semi conducting to the 4 other people on his half of the stage.

I don't care if you liked it. The important question here is: did you tape it? :D

Urgh gutted to have missed this. How was it?

Unfortunately I missed it too!

Amazing.
:eek:

Life comes beautifully full circle as Thurston Moore interviews Dave Haslam about his book Sonic Youth Slept on My Floor. Groundbreaking Hacienda DJ and acclaimed music writer Dave Haslam revisits some of the most interesting corners of contemporary culture through his glorious new memoir. He documents encounters with Tony Wilson, Terry Hall, Viv Albertine, Tracey Thorn, Roisin Murphy, John Lydon and Johnny Marr. Morrissey comes to tea and Sonic Youth sleep on his floor.

A benefit show for children’s charity the HOPING Foundation, hosted by comedian John Bishop and headlined by indie giants The Libertines. Also performing will be the legendary Patti Smith, art-rock icon Thurston Moore and winner of the 2018 NME Award for ‘Best British Solo Artist’, Loyle Carner. Inter-set poetry and readings will be performed by Eric Cantona and comedian Frankie Boyle.
Limited edition exclusive posters designed as a gesture of support for the children of Palestine by artists Sarah Lucas, Tracey Emin and Robert Del Naja (3D) from Massive Attack will also be available at the event.
More guests to be announced soon.
HOPING stands for Hope and Optimism for Palestinians in the Next Generation. It is a charitable foundation that provides grants to organisations working with Palestinian refugee children living in refugee camps in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, the West Bank and Gaza. The concert is our way to shine a light on the remarkable young Palestinians that HOPING is proud to support.

Rock & roll to me is everything. … I see it as a way of life, as a sort of an intellectual liberalism of being in the world.” —Thurston Moore
He cofounded Sonic Youth, altering the course of rock-and-roll by transforming punk, drone, electronic, free jazz, and art rock into thought experiments and spiritual epiphanies. During this celebration, exclusive to the Walker, Thurston Moore curates two distinct evenings of music reflecting his expansive past and current influences. In collaboration with Nels Cline, Anne Waldman, James Sedwards, Steve Shelley, and more to be announced, Moore revives art-rock mashups and reveals rock-and-roll as inner bliss.
