- Laurel Halo, Charlemagne Palestine and William Basinski are also lined up to perform at the London church venue in 2014.
- East London's St John Sessions has announced details of its first three shows of 2014. The sessions, which began last year, take place in the acoustically rich surroundings of the St John at Hackney church. The series has invited experimental musicians, from Actress to Wolfgang Voigt to Perc, to perform live in front of an intimate crowd with dancers or visuals. The first St John event of the year will take place on Tuesday, February 20th. Famed pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto will perform alongside 12k's Taylor Deupree, with Roly Porter and Gareth Dickson rounding out the bill. Next up, New York experimental composers Charlemagne Palestine and Rhys Chatham will play on Thursday, March 20th, with William Basinski, who performed at St John in 2013, also on the lineup. Laurel Halo will co-headline the following event on June 19th, though the other acts involved remain under wraps for now. Tickets to the St John events are available here on RA.
