CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS. Sound Affects presents a special event at the Old Market all about death and the afterlife. A night of talks, live music, film and live art. At Halloween, the veil between the living and the dead is at its thinnest. OBLIVION is dedicated to death's past, present and future, in art and culture.

Featuring:
David Bramwell - Musician, broadcaster and author who's written and made programmes about psych music, The Residents, time travel, Ken Campbell, and many more weird and wonderful topics. His books include The Haunted Moustache, The Cult of Water and The Longman and Friends: Sacred Sussex. He runs Brighton's Catalyst Club as well as hosting the Adventures In Nutopia podcast. David will be guiding us into the Hellmouth on this evening.

Jak Hutchcraft - Journalist and filmmaker with an interest in music and subcultures. He directed the Fatboy Slim: Right Here, Right Now documentary on Sky TV, and runs the monthly Brighton salon Sound Affects. He's written for The Guardian, VICE, The Quietus, Kerrang! and other publications. At OBLIVION, he'll deliver an illustrated audio-visual talk, What Does Dying Sound Like?, which is about music and near death experiences.

Sapphire Goss - An artist who uses obsolete media and fragile processes of decay and revival to explore time, mortality and memory. She draws on early photography and film where the boundaries between science and magic seemed thinner, such as Optographs, thought to capture the last image seen in a dead person’s eye.

Mike Sefton - Electronic music composer and filmmaker. His latest project is Twitching Dreamers, an 18-track album of music set at the end of this century, featuring the voices of the living, the dead... and those without a body. Playing live, with films and voices from 70 years hence.

Plus four deathly short films from Exploding Cinema, a screening collective that emerged from the underground art squat scene in 1991.
