post a commentRaime wage sonic war on a Church's foundations.
On the 31st of this month, LSO St Lukes, a post-ordained Church in Old Street, will welcome noise deconstructivists Joe Andrews and Tom Halstead, aka Raime, who will deliver their signature bone-rattling, lurching “rhythm circles” by way of excerpts from their 2012 debut album Quarter Turns Over A Living Line (Blackest Ever Black). In an evening hosted by The Barbican, in association with BleeD music, they will endeavour, through their unyielding sonic throttling, containing nods to jungle, industrial and doom metal, to reintroduce digital music as a visceral force, to be felt bodily and confrontationally and most of all to be questioned.

Raime's live excursions over the last three years, building up to their album launch last year, have asserted them as an unmissable live spectacle both because of their music and also because of their mesmeric visuals. This show will be backed by an achingly slow, yet transfixing video of Portuguese dancer Romeu Runa, performing in a closed Lisbon warehouse. Combined, this audio/visual experience threatens to offer a comprehensive cerebral meltdown.

In a further twist - perhaps more sonically the spiritually - they are supported by the chamber music trio, Mohammed, who will be bringing their own spooky vibe. This will be a fascinating and unsettling evening that will surely shake and distort the sound waves of the suitably gothic surrounds.

Raime + Mohammad is at LSO St Luke's on 31 May 2013 at 20:00. Tickets: £15
Floral display at the Smythson store
Winning the prize for the best display at the Chelsea in Bloom event, a part of the Chelsea Flower Show, the Smythson floral décor by flower artist Amanda Wilgrave of Flirty Flowers depicted heritage Smythson items like The Pocket Flask and Card Holder (1910), The Bond Street Bag (1920) and The Panama Diary (1930). Framing the new Nile blue door of the Bond Street store, urns of cascading flowers in the iconic Smythson Nile blue colour, underlined the “The Decades” theme.

An exclusive anniversary film created in collaboration with Virgilio Villoresi will be screened inside the Sloane Street store - the film also inspired the windows which were decorated with playful graphic illustrations.
Coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the Chelsea Flower Show and the 125th anniversary of Smythson, the Chelsea in Bloom event will be running from May 20-25.

Fusing precious materials with a love of unusual imagery, East London-based Noemi Klein’s work is both tough and beautiful.
Epoch 5: Strange
Volitions is Klein’s fifth fine jewellery collection, and explores the fragile connection
between the human and the inanimate. Ideas of ocular symbolism and ethereal
iconography are contrasted with the sharp nature of precious mineral clusters,
crafted into rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets.
The collection launched into the Shoreditch Start boutique this week.
