| Description | Thur 13, Fri 14, Sat 15 November 2008 7.45pm Drifting and Tilting: The Songs of Scott Walker Barbican Theatre Tickets £25/£30/£35 Part of Only Connect; produced by the Barbican in association with Cultural Industry The archetypal pop star turned recluse, Scott Walker is increasingly being acknowledged as one of the most important and adventurous musical pioneers of his generation. This world premiere of live performances of songs from Scott Walker’s seminal works, including his albums Tilt and Drift, is therefore one of the major musical events of 2008. Produced by Scott Walker and directed by Ann-Christin Rommen , these concerts will be set and designed for the Barbican Theatre stage, and include orchestra, Walker's band, and feature special guest vocalists, tbc. Walker achieved world-wide fame in the 1960's as one third of the Walker Brothers, with nine UK top 30 singles between 1965 and 1967. Since the 1980s he has concentrated on more experimental music with a series of increasingly idiosyncratic releases, including The Climate of the Hunter (1984), Tilt (1995) and Drift (2006). It is the last two which will form the focus of this unique Barbican event.
