Jason Sweeney – Panoptique Electrica – Concert/Album Launch @ EMU Friday 29 August 2008

Jason Sweeney, under the musical guise of Panoptique Electrical, is launching a new album Let The Darkness At You with a live concert of electronic compositions and instrumental works drawn from soundtracks made over the last decade for South Australian and interstate theatre/dance companies, short films and art installations.

The concert performance takes place in EMU Space at the University of Adelaide's Electronic Music Unit, 8:00-10:00pm on Friday 29 August 2008, with support by Adelaide sound artist Tristan Louth-Robins.

Jason is also known for his work as a performance and sound artist, a member of Unreasonable Adults and as part of electronic music duo Pretty Boy Crossover. He explains:

“Let the Darkness at You is a perfect title for this work. It actually sums up the feeling – or at least my intention of the feeling – for the record; this kind of enveloping darkness, to lose yourself in, to swim. In an uncertain place full of strange and often sinister corners, some moments of finding a clearing, a space to rest, and then be drawn back into a dark world.”
