THE HORSE HOSPITAL LONDON

In a special live event, the X-Ray Audio film will be premiered. The documentary features interviews with Russian bone bootleggers and buyers, archive footage and various commentators.

Following the screening, we will be joined LYDIA KAVINA, thereminist extraordinaire, to provide a live demonstration of recording onto X-Ray plates using vintage analogue record-cutting lathes and a commentary on groove-based recording techniques on plastic.

Lydia is the grand niece of Lev Theremin and generally regarded as one of the best therminists in the world. She will be accompanied by pianist Edmund Davie.
