Eight years ago, I had to pinch myself repeatedly. Right before my eyes and ears were artists that since the early 1970s embodied a unique mix of experimentalism, radicalism, weirdness, creativity, and pure genius. When I became obsessed with their music, I never imagined I would have been able to experience it live.

The Lowest Form Of Music - The Los Angeles Free Music Society’s London Weekend took place from 22nd to 24th October 2010 at Beaconsfield. It was a blast; three unforgettable days of sonic pleasures. At that time I was still using colour for most of my music photos, so I have decided to create some new monochrome versions for this eighth anniversary.

Pictured below, in alphabetical order: Ace Farren Ford, AIRWAY, David Toop, Extended Organ, Hijōkaidan, Incapacitants, Ju Suk Reet Meate, Le Forte Four, Morphogenesis, Oblivia, Paul McCarthy, Rick Potts, Smegma, The Tenses, Tom Recchion.

The weekend details are at LAFMS.com (a site well worth exploring). The Lowest Form Of Music 10xCD box set is the essential LAFMS release.
