CLOCK DVA are considered one of the pre-eminent pioneers of pre-and post-80s experimental music, alongside and in collaborative association with. Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire.
“Adi Newton has described the pdocess of making music as his research. It represents a more thoughtful and reactive body of work than that which dominates his peer group in particular, newtons grasp of the philosophical connotations of technology place him apart from the majority of its practitioners” (NME.COM)
CLOCKDVA’s acclaimed releases include the 1981 electroacoustic album THIRST – declared by Paul Morley of NME as one of the best dbuts on a par with Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures and the Fall’s Dragnet- and the 1988 electronic masterpiece BURIED DREAMS.
CLOCKDVA continue to present and release new mucic and critically acclaimed audiovisual works, with performances in Europe and the USA.
The first new Clock DVA studio album, Noesis, in 30 years explores a dystopian world where “machines of intimidation” rule. Founder Adi Newton muses on technology overload, the importance and influence of artistic experimentation, and how a 1970s Sheffield theatre workshop first turned him onto electronic music
