DESCRIPTION:James Holden & The Animal Spirits\nJames Holden & The Animal S
 pirits performs in a concert at the Rolex Forum within the context of the 
 Artlab exhibition dedicated to the evolution of computational thinking fro
 m the Middle Ages up to today.\n\nElectronic music is a perfect example of
  what could stem from the alliance between technology and artistic creatio
 n. It is within this idea that Artlab joined Electrosanne to offer a conce
 rt to the EPFL community and the external public. The concert will be prec
 eded by two commented visits of the exhibition “Thinking Machines. Ramon
  Llull and the ars combinatoria” for which the preview will be on Friday
  November 2 at Artlab\, EPFL.\n\n \nThe concert:\nElectrosanne chose to h
 ave James Holden & The Animal Spirits as a guest for a previously unseen c
 oncert in French-speaking Switzerland. James Holden\, a British psychedeli
 c techno-wizard\, is a talented man: manager of the Border Community label
 \, trends producer\, genious remixer notably for bands such as Depeche Mod
 e\, Boards of Canada or even New Order\, James is amongst the most highly 
 rated artists of today. Emerging on the dance music scene already in the 2
 000s\, he has decided to grow apart from his DJing art to focus on uncommo
 n projects. With The Inheritors\, a fabulous work of 2013\, one perceives 
 in which direction Holden’s music is heading: crepuscular techno\, psych
 edelic spiral and notions of jazz\, James likes to surprise. The Animal Sp
 irits is finally the full realization of its great desire. With this new p
 roject launched in 2017\, electronic music is a springboard to something g
 reater\, something which lives and vibrates in his music where jazz\, folk
  and African rituals coexist in a collective euphoria which invades spirit
  and body. He collaborates in this project with artists such as Tom Page\,
  saxophonist Etienne Jaumet\, multi-instrumentalist Liza Bec\, Lascelle Go
 rdon from the free-jazz band “Woven Entity”\, as well as guitarist Mar
 cus Hamblett. James Holden thus makes his great comeback in Lausanne after
  being one of the first international resident of the bygone Loft Electroc
 lub.\n\nA concert and an exhibition offering the opportunity to better und
 erstand how Ramon Llull\, philosopher\, logician and theologian born in 12
 32\, still inspires and fascinates thinkers\, artists and researchers toda
 y.\n\n=> THE CONCERT IS SOLD OUT
