A
Celebration of: Popol Vuh is a series
of events produced by Sonic360 to mark the 40th anniversary of the formation of
German ‘Krautrock’ group ‘Popol Vuh’.  Founded by the creative driving
force and musical genius Florian Fricke along with Holger Trulzsch (percussion)
and Frank Fiedler (electronics), their music incorporates both electronic and
acoustic instrumentation inspired by ethnic and religious music and evokes a
deep and introspective response in the listener.
The
concept of the events is to play selected albums from the Popol Vuh catalogue,
2 albums per night, in the beautiful and unique acoustic setting of Shoreditch
Church, London -  an appropriate space to listen to the deeply
introspective music of Popol Vuh.  The church will be low-lit by candle
light so that the listener is placed in an environment where the music can
score an inner landscape, an inward experience rather than a sensory
bombardment. 
The
first event is on 25^th February, 2 early ‘moog period’ Popol Vuh
albums ‘Affenstunde’ (their first album) and ‘In Den Garten Pharaos’ will be
played.
Schedule of events:
Thurs
25th Feb: Albums: Affenstunde, In Den Garten Pharaos
Thurs
8th Apr: Albums: Hosianna Mantra, Aguirre
Thurs
15th Apr: Albums: Nosferatu, Sei Still, Wisse Ich Bin 
Thurs
22nd Apr: Albums: Coeur De Verre, Agape-agape 
All
events start at 7pm. A special guest will be invited to talk at selected dates
TBC. There will be an interval between albums and alcoholic beverages will be
available.  £5 Entry.

	This sounds like a really great idea. I am unfortunately on the other side of the Atlantic and so I will have to content myself with listening to vinyl recordings in my studio space. Good luck with the event and I hope people show up to support the initiative. It is Popol Vuh after all.
