Chaos Theory presents very special UK exclusive event. Join us for an extended performance by Kayo Dot founding member Toby Driver and his guest musicians, comprising music from his latest solo works and his most recent project Alora Crucible. They will be joined by atmospheric soundweaver Black Arrows, who will create a full solo multi-instrumental ritual.


Toby Driver is a composer and multi-instrumentalist who navigates between genres. He is “a tirelessly inventive recording artist” (PopMatters) with a prolific career of over 20 years. His work – impressionistic, architectural and emotionally vulnerable – has been described as “unlike any other” (The Quietus), displaying “A greater vision of how music can evoke feelings both grandiose and devastatingly intimate.” (Vice/Noisey). He recently released his new solo album of ballads, Raven, I Know That You Can Give Me Anything.


Alora Crucible, his most recent musical identity, explores transcendental instrumental music with Driver on guitar and hammered dulcimer, in collaboration with violinist Timba Harris and keyboardist Ana Cristina Pérez. With their recent second album, Oak Lace Apparition, released on the enigmatic and elite House of Mythology label in the company of titans Ulver and Current 93, Alora Crucible has made a strong and enduring statement about this music's exalted place in Driver's diverse body of work.


Black Arrows is multi-instrumentalist Aliki Karveli, who weaves sonic spaces with loops and words.
