| They
will be performing material from their new album Interplay as well as classic
songs from early Ultravox and John's solo career. |

Interplay is a collaboration
between Foxx and electronic
composer and synthesizer collector, Benge. The latter is
best known for his 2008 album Twenty Systems, which was described
by Brian
Eno
as a "Brilliant
contribution to the archaeology of electronic music." Moody and atmospheric,
but also full of songs that are actually more 'pop' than avant
garde, Interplay pulls various strands of electronic music together
- from early 80's electro to 70's Krautrock. One track, Watching
A Building On Fire
features Mira
Aroyo
from Ladytron, who also came
up with the original synth riff.
John will be joined
on-stage on the Interplay tour by...
Benge - Keyboards,
Percussion
Serafina
Steer - Keyboards,
Bass
Hannah
Peel - Keyboards,

Tara
Busch

John Foxx And
The Maths
will also be playing at The Unsound Festival in Poland on Saturday
the 15th of October.
The Festival has a theme this year which is Future Shock, as in the 1970
book by Alvin Toffler. That book is a cautionary vision of the
future (from a very 1970 perspective) warning against 'too much
change in too short a period of time'. In 1972 a fantastic documentary
was made based on the book, featuring a doomy Orson Welles and
music by Gil Melle. Meanwhile other artists performing at the
Unsound Festival include electronic pioneers Morton Subotnik
and Chris & Cosey.
