Practical ElectronicaN/C 8+

This experimental documentary from multi-media artist Ian Helliwell examines Fred Judd’s activity with electronics and musique concrete during the 1950s and 60s. Although high profile at that time via the soundtrack for ITV sci-fi puppet series Space Patrol, and regular appearances on BBC radio, Judd’s work has since been overlooked and slipped into obscurity. Exploring the innovative career of this English musician, inventor, engineer, designer and author, the focus is on his experimental sound, filling in a lost chapter in early electronic music history.

This screening will be introduced by director Ian Helliwell who will also participate in a Q&A following the film.
