LOCATION

Somerville-based synthesizer musician Robin Amos presents PKD, a multimedia suite inspired by the writing of Philip K. Dick. Presented to the public for the first time in its entirety, the performance features electronic music by Robin Amos and Blaik Ripton (who perform with video artist Allison Tanenhaus as the band The Square Root of Negative Two), with additional visuals by Vidumami. Part of a community benefit for a Somerville Arts Council fellowship award, this event is free, family-friendly, and open to all. About the Presenter: Robin moved to the Boston area in 1977 and has been a fixture in the music scene ever since. He’s worked within various genres such as tape and electronic music (in the original lineup of The Square Root of Negative Two, with the late Bill Salkin), punk (The Girls), post-punk (Shut Up), post-rock (Cul de Sac), experimental doom (Walpurgis Kin), and black metal (Infera Bruo).
