Project Description

Formed in the 80s in the Sheffield’s industrial scene, heirs of Kraftwerk and forerunners of cyber-punk aesthetic, the Clock DVA are now a cult name in the electronic music scene. Their style full of gothic and metaphysical contours is unique and unmistakable.

Led by the legendary Adi Newton, the current lineup of the group sees him at voice and computer, accompanied by the electronic producer and experimenter Maurizio “TeZ” Martinucci and by the video artist Panagiotis Tomaras.

Their cultured and dark techno-pop, so fascinating and narrative, is absolutely unique and overwhelming. The alien voice of Adi Newton runs on rhythmical textures and hypnotic minimalist electronic sequences, disclosing layered cultural references that focus on the conflicts that affect the man in the age of the machines, showing the most common and massified iconographies of this time, and suggesting more complex links between art, politics, science over the centuries. The live videos highlight and emphasize this atmosphere, making the whole show a thoughtful and hypnotic journey through the maze of the human mind and the relationship between emotion and technology.

2014 is the year of Clock DVA’s discographic return after eighteen years of silence. An unmissable opportunity to see live a cult band
