Looks cool. I was just at the Sydney Opera House 2 months ago. Great structure and great place to have it. Wish I could be there for this.

June 14 - Pure Scenius in the Concert Hall, probably after 6 PM.

In residence at Sydney Opera House throughout luminous, Eno
will also be in conversation with artists and other guests as well
as working with collaborators, including Underworld poet Karl
Hyde, on the finale concert, Pure Scenius.

Luminous tickets to the general public go on sale

Pure Scenius is Brian Eno’s title for a
concert to mark the end of the first
Luminous festival at Sydney opera House.

Devised and produced by Eno whilst he is in residence in
Sydney, this distinctive one-off concert will be the surprise
result of a collaboration between a number of artists, some
of whom have appeared earlier in the Luminous program and
other special guests, including Karl Hyde, the poet and voice of
Underworld.

In the early 90s, along with band mates Rick Smith and Darren
Emerson, Hyde assimilated techno into the art-rock tradition,
lacing pulverising rhythms with frantic cut-up lyrics, eccentric
humour, subtle textures and waves of improvisation.

Why ‘pure scenius’? Eno describes this as ‘the creative
intelligence of a whole cultural scene’.

“My feeling is that culture is an ecology of ideas - and just as we
wouldn’t imagine a biological ecology where horses were seen
as ‘important’ and goats as ‘trivial’, nor should we do the same
thing with art. Such categorisations serve only to illuminate our
own prejudices and tastes, and often, our snobberies,” he says.

“The connections between one idea and those around it are
subtle and complex. i am unable to separate ‘my’ ideas from the
whole flow of ideas in the air around me.

Without a doubt some scenes are more creative than others -
think of Russia around the 1917 revolution, Berlin in the 20’s
and 30’s, London and San Francisco in the 60’s....all of those
were possessed of ‘scenius’ - fertile breeding grounds for new
cultural experiments.”

The full line up and scale of Pure Scenius will not be finalised
until May. This will be a one night only experience, unique to
Sydney Opera House.

Seats will be limited and in high demand.

Looks like Pure Scenius tickets aren't going on general sale, at least not yet. Karl, hook the Aussie dirts up!

Re: Karl Hyde in PURE SCENIUS/LUMINOUS, Sydney Opera House.

Just from what I`ve quickly read, and I don`t know too much about this,
it seems to me that Karl shouldn`t be merely a guest, but rather he and
Tomato should be the master of ceremonies as this is right up their alley!

Re: Karl Hyde in PURE SCENIUS/LUMINOUS, Sydney Opera House.

Wow - so Karl will collaborate with Eno? I hope they get the LHN crew involved to release whatever comes of THAT collaboration. Crazy.

Re: Karl Hyde in PURE SCENIUS/LUMINOUS, Sydney Opera House.

This looks to be an awesome festival, and I have been thinking it was about time I visited Sydney again.

Some details on how we can get tickets to PURE SCENIUS would be helpful :)

Re: Karl Hyde in PURE SCENIUS/LUMINOUS, Sydney Opera House.

Looks really interesting. I signed up for the newsletter anyway, hope they let me know when/where I can bag tickets.

Re: Karl Hyde in PURE SCENIUS/LUMINOUS, Sydney Opera House.

I'm really excited about this, am definitely going to have to bag some tickets. I know that The Necks are performing for the festival and I'm really, really hoping that there's some sort of Necks/Hyde collaboration thing during Scenius. It's extremely unlikely, but it would result in the collaboration between my two favorite musical artists and would be the most awesome thing ever. :o

(and I'm kinda hoping that Karl reads this and goes out to get one of their albums and check 'em out :) )

Re: Karl Hyde in PURE SCENIUS/LUMINOUS, Sydney Opera House.

i think i need to go to Australia and live for awhile.
but honestly, its about time Underworld begins to be recognized as a very influential group. I remember when I first got into Underworld, one of the things i love is the poetic and operatic words from Karl Hyde. He is easily my favorite lyricist and one of the only ones who i have heard that writes like that. And his vocal delivery should be used in the opera.

Re: Karl Hyde in PURE SCENIUS/LUMINOUS, Sydney Opera House.

The wait is over! PURE SCENIUS is now on sale. And as a LUMINOUS enews subscriber you have the chance to buy tickets before they go on sale to the general public on Friday 8 May!

Prepare for PURE SCENIUS when the LUMINOUS mastermind joins forces with Underworld’s Karl Hyde, guitarist Leo Abrahams, synthesist Jon Hopkins and Australia’s undisputed maestros of improvised minimalism – The Necks.

One day. Three improvised concerts. Two intervals. Each concert picks up where the other left off. Choose your own one, two or three part adventure in sound and vision. The first concert is based on a predetermined sequence of events and parts two and three will progress from there – each will have its similarities, each will have its differences. Like a laboratory conducting an undisclosed experiment, PURE SCENIUS will be a combustible, spontaneous, must-see mix of intellect, innovation and instrumentation.

And the experiment goes beyond audio; offstage Toby Vogel will be filming, mixing, re-processing and projecting layers of imagery on three massive screens – just like he does for Underworld’s live shows.
