Chaos Theory presents the latest tour from Alexander Hacke (Einstürzende Neubauten) and Danielle de Picciotto (Crime & The City Solution), 'We Are Gypsies Now', as well as a new solo project from Thomas Ragsdale (Ghosting Season, worriedaboutsatan).
------------------------------
Danielle de Picciotto and Alexander Hacke:
After watching the onset of gentrification filling their previous creative oasis in Berlin, this extraordinary duo have been nomadic since 2010. Giving up their home and most of their possessions, Danielle and Alexander have been touring the world, performing in Australia, doing residencies in Prague, Canada and Ireland, working in New York and recording in the Mojave Desert.
Realising over time that gentrification is everywhere, the pair now know that their journey will not be over soon, which has changed their perspectives on social interaction, culture and art, and has fueled their inspiration for their latest creations.
This evening they will present:
- music from Danielle's new solo album 'Tacoma', which speaks of leaving everything behind and trusting destiny to lead one's way
- their communal album 'Perseverantia', which speaks of the strength and persistence necessary to survive outside of the grid
- their graphic diary 'We Are Gypsies Now', which tells of how they gradually chose to become nomads.
Using a diverse collection of instruments and media, these two have constructed a psychedelic experience that will touch anyone who has ever felt constrained by convention.

Thomas Ragsdale
This film composer from Manchester is best known as half of Ghosting Season and worriedaboutsatan, as well as solo project Winter Son.
He released his new album 'Bait' on 31st August via This Is It Forever, to coincide with the screening of Dominic Brunt's film of the same name at Film4 Frightfest.
The album started life as a film score to the UK thriller, but rather than just release the various background drones and atmospheres, Ragsdale re-opened the files he'd given Brunt and started to re-imagine the whole thing as one complete album, as opposed to merely a soundtrack.
On the night we'll see the fruits of his labours in a multi-media performance.
