About
During a family holiday in Cornwall, writer and broadcaster John Doran decided to drag his long-suffering family around as many Aphex Twin related places of interest as they could reach in one day, taking in the curious speaker cone shaped amphitheatre the Gwennap Pit, the dreamlike coastal settlement of St Michael's Mount and the mysterious Logan Rock.
The jaunt became the basis of Selected Ambient Walks: Aphex Twin And Cornish Mythology, a lecture to be presented at The Bosco in full 5.1 AFX Vision*. The talk draws many links between the tin mining industry, West Country witches, the legend of Merlin's keep, state vandalism of the Logan rock, Michel Foucault and the stunning history of the Cornish pasty.
John Doran is the co-founder and editor of the Quietus website. He is a regular guest and presenter on BBC Radio. He wrote and presented the award winning documentary In Search Of Aphex Twin for BBC Radio 4 and wrote and presented Radio 4’s New Weird Britain series.
