Beck and Thurston Moore will work together for a music and poetry event

Beck has been added to the lineup for Doug Aitken’s Station to Station project in London Barbican, and will be joined by Thurston Moore. at the event, which has been billed as “an evening of music, poetry and visual arts,” Beck and a musical group with Moore will accompany readings of poetry from Simon Armitage, Don Paterson, and more, as well as a projected video backdrop. The performance will be in the Barbican Hall on June 29. 

The creative partnership includes Aitken’s The Source project, Beck’s cover of “I Only Have Eyes For You” for Airken’s Song 1 installation as well as the U.S. Leg of Station to Station in 2013, where Moore performed as well. Beck and Moore also paired up on Moore’s solo album, which was produced by Beck, Demolished Thoughts
Also on the lineup, musicians such as Savages, EMA, and Micachu will collaborate and perform to create a 30-day “living art project.”
