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.

Hyde, on the finale concert, Pure Scenius.

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!
