A new series of monthly events in East London curated by The Wire Magazine. The evenings will consist of readings, talks, panel debates, film screenings, DJ sets and live performances. The first instalment is Revenant Forms: The Meaning Of Hauntology at London's Café Oto, 1 April, 8pm, £4 on the door only

Mark Fisher (K-Punk) leads a panel with Adam Harper and Joseph Stannard debating the uncanny quality of so much contemporary audio, from spektral disco to dubstep, Hypnagogic pop and beyond. Plus screenings of films by Julian House (Ghost Box, The Focus Group), a live set by Moon Wiring Club and eldritch vinyl interludes courtesy of Mordant Music.

Exclusive footage of Maja Ratkje and Kathy Hinde's collaborative work, Birds And Traces. The composition was created during a week long residency at Aldeburgh Music as part of Faster Than Sound, a series of residencies set up to promote crossover between classical composers and artists working with electronic media. Inspired by the themes of bird migration, the season of Spring and climate change, Birds And Traces involved school children local to the Snape area reinterpreting Norwegian songs about birds and Spring along with making origami birds and mapping out migration routes.

Alongside the resulting composition, the artists created two installations which included research materials produced during their residency and a multimedia film sculpture. The performance featured Norwegian accordionist Frode Haltli. Parallel Voices was curated by The Wire.

Also performing at Parallel Lives was Marina Rosenfeld, watch exclusive footage of her installation and performance here.

Footage of Marina Rosenfeld's composition Cannons, created specifically for the space at Aldeburgh Music's Hoffman Building at Snape, Suffolk during a one week residency leading up to the performance on 20 March 2010. Cannons features a custom built sound system comprised of four large resonating 'bass cannons' made out of steel pipes fitted with subwoofers, along with two steel horns, all created in collaboration with the sound engineer Paul Geluso and the Suffolk metalwork firm JT Pegg & Sons in Aldeburgh.

The work was made with Paul Geluso and players from the London Contemporary Orchestra: Robert Ames (viola), Lucy Railton (cello) and Sarah Cresswell (percussion) and was curated by The Wire.
