Black Chronicles II: The Missing Chapter is an exhibition of archive photography from the late 19th and early 20th century which includes some of the earliest images of black people in the UK. As part of the exhibition writer, photographer and longtime Wire contributor, Val Wilmer will be in conversation with publisher Margaret Busby, founder of radical black publisher Allison & Busby, about her own collection of archive images of black people from the Victorian and Edwardian eras, many of which are included in the exhibition.

The talk takes place 4 November, 6:30pm at Autograph ABP at Rivington Place, as part of Black Chronicles II, which runs 12 September–29 November, curated by Renée Mussai and Mark Sealy. More details here.

Computer music pioneer Nicolas Collins's 1974 generative music piece Pea Soup has been rewritten as a piece of open access software. The original Pea Soup creates a feedback network of mics and speakers that tunes itself to the acoustics of a space and responds to other waveforms and objects in the room.

The open access version, Pea Soup To Go, was made available this week on the 40th anniversary of its first performance. It is constructed from over 70 recordings of the piece in a variety of different spaces made by Collins (author of Handmade Electronic Music – The Art of Hardware Hacking), including concert halls and caves. The site autoplays audio and crossfades between different versions of the piece, resulting in an endless, slowly modulating mix.

Pea Soup To Go is streaming now, (and forever).

DJ Keiji Haino has just released his third mix CD, The Greatest Hits Of The Music. Released by a Japanese label called Youth, it’s housed in a mini LP style cardboard sleeve that’s nevertheless big enough to contain Haino’s DJ project name in full: DJ Keiji Haino Experimental Mixture.

The Greatest Hits Of The Music follows last year's mixes on Youth and Black Smoker, where early music rubbed up against Indonesian percussion, big band and country and western.

Cinecity, Brighton's annual film festival which this year runs from 20 November–7 December, will once again be hosting a variety of live music and film events.

A number of screenings of cult films will be accompanied by 'live underscores', including Roger Corman's 1963 X: Man With The X-Ray Eyes scored by Pere Ubu (Duke of York's Picturehouse, 23 November, 9pm) and Sergei Parajanov’s 1969 The Colour Of Pomegranates scored by Juno Reactor (Duke of York's Picturehouse, 27 November, 9pm), while Italian prog legends Goblin will perform a live soundtrack to Dario Argento's occult hardy perennial Suspiria, a film the group first scored on its initial release in 1977 (St Bartholomew’s Church, 6 December, 6pm).

Other events include a 'live re-imagining' of John Wyndham's 1957 British sci-fi novel The Midwich Cuckoos by Sarah Angliss and Stephen Hiscock using theremin, modular electronics, robotic instruments, live percussion and foley techniques (Duke of York's Picturehouse, 5 December, 7pm), plus screenings of Helen Petts's 2013 portrait of the late Lol Coxhill, Solo Soprano (Brighton Museum and Art Gallery, 29 November, 1:30pm), and a revised and updated version of Practical Electronica, Ian Helliwell's impressionistic documentary on the early days of British electronic music as seen through the life and work of composer FC Judd: the screening of Practical Electronica will be followed by a discussion of the film between its director and The Wire's Tony Herrington (Brighton Museum and Art Gallery, 29 November, 3.30pm).

Four Brian Eno albums from the mid-1990s are being expanded and reissued by All Saints: Nerve Net, The Shutov Assembly, Neroli and The Drop. All come with a CD of extra material, with Nerve Net bundled with the first release of lost Eno album My Squelchy Life.

My Squelchy Life was originally pencilled in for release in 1991. It was finished, with press copies sent out before it was pulled after Eno decided to continue adding to the material. A number of reviews exist, one of which appeared in The Wire 91 (September 1991), where one 'Mike Fish' describes the record as being "as endearing and indispensible as every Eno record. No masterpiece, but not to be missed." Nerve Net was released a year later with some of the tracks from My Squelchy Life included on the album. Skip forward to 1995 and Eno made Wire history again, with title track "My Squelchy Life" being the first track to be hummed in Mike Barnes's Invisible Jukebox interview with Robert Wyatt (The Wire 142). Barnes accidentally taped over the track, and Wyatt asked him to hum the piece instead. Barnes agreed, and Wyatt guessed the track correctly.

Three of the four albums will be released on double vinyl save Neroli, which Eno doesn't want to fragment across vinyl, and includes an unreleased hour-long ambient piece titled New Space Music on a second CD. The Drop and The Shutov Assembly contain a second CD of unreleased tracks from Eno's archive. All Saints will reissue all four Eno albums on 1 December.

Maja Ratkje's next release will be a 10" lathe in a tape reel box, cut in an edition of 24, an art edition released to coincide with her exhibition with visual artist Kristian Skylstad at at Trafo Kunsthall in Asker, Norway. The exhibition, titled It Still Haunts Me Like A Good Nightmare, And I Try In Vain To Recover The Impression, opens on 25 October and runs until 16 November. It explores the myth of the provocative avant-garde, from the starting point of Stravinsky's self-perpetuated myth around the performance of The Rite Of Spring, with a performance by Ratkje on 25 October.

Each box is individually decorated by Skylstad and comes with a screen printed certificate. The release is cut by Lydbilde, and all sales will be handled by Trafo Kunsthall meaning there are no pre-orders via the label. Contact the gallery for more information.

Throughout November and December the BFI will be hosting a series of films and discussions exploring themes surrounding Afrofuturism.

Running as part of the BFI's Sci-Fi: Days Of Fear And Wonder programme, Inside Afrofuturism aims to highlight "key cinematic works that have engaged with, inspired or been inspired by this ever-evolving stylistic and intellectual cornucopia." Notable events include a screening of John Coney's 1974 film starring Sun Ra, Space Is The Place, Shirley Clarke's 1985 documentary Ornette: Made In America, Lizzie Borden's sci-fi feminist film Born In Flames, and a discussion between Afrika Bambaataa and Don Letts.

London label and vinyl mastering studio Gearbox is running a series of public listening events modelled on the Japanese Kissaten or coffee shop. The classic coffee shop record store, eulogised in the pages of The Wire by Merzbow and Otomo Yoshihide, was a place where punters would go to listen to and buy records – typically but not exclusively jazz – sometimes selecting records to listen to from a menu. Some kissaten even enforced rules against talking when in store.

Gearbox, whose label has excavated numerous UK jazz rarities from the likes of Joe Harriot and Michael Garrick, is hosting these public listening events at its studio in London's King's Cross. Records promised for the next night on Monday 17 November include original Blue Note 1500 series pressings as well as a secret wild card record, all played on a high-end analogue sound system. Admission is free. Full info here

Vocalist and composer Jennifer Walshe and sound artist Lee Patterson are collaborating for the next instalment in Aldeburgh Music’s Faster Than Sound series. Taking place 1 November, The Chimes Hour is inspired "by the Suffolk folk belief that children born at the hours when church bells tolled had the ability to discern ‘happenings hidden from the sight of lesser mortals’."

Working with Peter Meanwell and Aldeburgh Young Musicians, Walshe and Patterson are creating a collection of compositions and improvisations from the amplification and recording of the building and its surrounding area, to be presented as a soundwalk through Aldeburgh Music’s Hoffman building and surrounds.

The tour starts at 7pm. Check full details here

Evan Parker, Derek Bailey and Han Bennink's The Topography Of The Lungs – a touchstone of British improvisation as the first release on Incus and Evan Parker's first recording as a leader – is being reissued on vinyl by Cafe Oto's OtoRoku label.

The record was originally released in 1970 on Incus, the label Parker started with Derek Bailey and Tony Oxley. It was reissued on CD by Parker via his Psi label in 2006, under his own name (rather than as the trio). When Parker left Incus in 1987, he took with him his own recordings and archived materials, and agreed not to reissue Topography while Bailey remained director. The CD was issued the year after Bailey's death in 2005, and this version resurrects it on vinyl, with the audio taken direct from Evan's own original vinyl copy, and then restored.

The record is due out on 15 December. Pre-orders are open here.
