Science fiction, literature, and experimental cinema collide in Cosmic Lucifer’s electrifying multidisciplinary presentation of “Blade Runner Reimagined” (in tribute to the composer Vangelis), “UBIK” (in tribute to author Philip K. Dick), “Alien” (in tribute to filmmaker Ridley Scott), and “Who Are We.” Composer and producer Robin Amos performs on a mix of analog and hybrid systems, collected from his 50+ years as a pioneering synthesizer player. This performance includes a recorded collaboration with musician Blaik Ripton on analog and digital synthesizers. Glitch video artist Allison Tanenhaus specializes in trippy op art and anachronistic tech mashups. She creates the music’s dancerly, larger-than-life visuals, rich in psychedelic abstraction and unexpected dimensional qualities.
Admission is free and open to the public.

About the Performers
Cosmic Lucifer is an audio-visual collective rooted in dark wave, film soundtracks, and the Berlin School of electronic music. Founding member Robin Amos (Cul de Sac, The Girls, Infera Bruo, Shut Up) melds custom sonic elements he crafts on his multi-decade synthesizer collection, collaborating with electronic musicians Blaik Ripton and Dan Ciardi, and guitarist Heath Finney. Digital artist Allison Tanenhaus creates the accompanying video segments, casting an immersive, multi-sensory spell.
