In Jon’s newsletter today he announced a listening event at the ICA next week; sounds like it’s spatial sound rather than visuals. ”My new album, RITUAL, will be released on August 30. It is a 41-minute ceremonial piece, and was the most joyful and collaborative experience I’ve ever had making an album. It feels like a kinetic counterpart to Music For Psychedelic Therapy … Finally, announcing the first Listening Experiences! You can come and hear the album in spatial audio, presented with d&b Audiotechnik Soundscape, at the ICA in London on May 12, way ahead of its release. I want to give people an opportunity to listen collectively to this specially created immersive version, to really feel this music as it was intended to be felt, before anyone has heard it. Tickets are on sale this Friday.“

He’s got a new album out early next year, so seems like a likely booking. Floating Points has also said he’ll be touring next year, wonder if he’ll show up. That Jamie XX album has been in the works for ages too.
