For the world premiere of his new book -Linger On The Velvet Underground, published by Ecstatic Peace Library- Ignacio Julià wanted to relive the original dynamics of the New York band, the creative friction between an American noise-guitar player and poet, Lou Reed, and a radical, lyrical European pianist and songwriter, John Cale. Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo and French maverick Pascal Comelade accepted the challenge. The concert took place in Banyoles, Catalonia, on April 28, 2022, as a non-nostalgic reinvention of a musical legacy that takes an influential past into the future.
Velvet Suite
Lee Renaldo, Pascal Comelade and Ramon Prats perform a legacy-inspired suite on the Velvet Undergroud. Manuel Huerga captured the dress rehearsal and the concert with a single camera, and turned what was shot into an immersive experience.
