Immersion (Colin Newman & Malka Spigel)

Alphaville Presents Immersion live at brand new venue KAMERA, above the Lloyd & Platt pub in Chorlton.

Immersion are Malka Spigel and Colin Newman best known for their work with Minimal Compact and Wire. The duo’s work as Immersion provides an outlet for their ongoing fascination in crafting enthralling, unique musical soundscapes.

The project emerged in the early 1990s and has always prided itself on a diversity in approach and an ability to be both self-contained and a vehicle for collaboration. 1999’s Low Impact & 2018’s Sleepless cover very different aesthetics.

More recent work has seen Immersion collaborating with the likes of Tarwater, Laetitia Sadier, Ulrich Schnauss , Scanner, Thor Harris, Cubzoa in their ongoing Nanocluster series of events & albums

“Immersion manages to achieve a strong sense of human connection between these inseparable post-punk legends and other creative beings” The Quietus

"A chrome-plated dive into synth pop futurism" - Clash Magazine

"One of our records of the year. Total swooner" Monorail 2024


“They’ve created an extreme, something to be spoken of alongside the great albums of the century, and something that utterly holds its own with the sui generis work of Post Punk’s purest and most quality-minded act, Wire” Rock N Roll Globe

"Thanks to panoramic production and Newman's deluge of melodic hooks, Sleepless is, as per the band name, like a lovely warm bath for the soul" - 4/5 Q Magazine

Presented by Alphaville UK.

This is an 18+ event
