LAUTREC vs SONVER present?2001: A SPACEDUB ODYSSEY??Lautrec’s laptop & keys electronica set-up combine with post-rockers SonVer’s guitar, electric cello, drums and bass to present a live soundtrack to some of?the most iconic space images ever committed to celluloid. Visually the set explores universal themes of space, nature and man’s relationship to his fellow?humans and the artificial intelligence on which we increasingly rely. Musically, Lautrec and Sonver bring together the electronic with the organic and the?classical with the contemporary. Ladies and Gentlemen...we are floating in space.
