An exclusive one-night screening and listening event!

Fabled English record producer Mark Pritchard, luminary songwriter Thom Yorke and groundbreaking visual artist Jonathan Zawada present Tall Tales – a debut collaborative visual and audio cinema experience a decade in the making. Landscapes of synth-pop, prog, dub, 70s synth, Joe Meek, Ivor Cutler, Library, kraut and classic Warp™? – Tall Tales sounds like musicians meeting in the Hinterland.

Transmitted by Australian visual artist Jonathan Zawada, Tall Tales is a fairy tale for the modern world; depicting rising tides, kings & queens, amazon logistics and robotic arms under iridescent skies. We wanted computers to do our accounting – instead, they try to paint our pictures and sing our songs. Like all good fairy tales – this work edges light with the dark as Thom’s echoed chants intertwine with Mark’s shimmering electronics. On Tall Tales, we hear seasoned musicians continue down the path of experimentation. A prophetic visual album, Tall Tales has been years in the making, but delivered right on time.

Directed by Mark Pritchard, Thom Yorke
