Clock DVA: Second Sight

£40.00£80.00

The definitive work on Adi Newton, icon of industrial-rooted electronic and experimental music, chronicles the prophetic vision driving his artistic journey – from 1977’s post-industrial Sheffield to his latest productions.

Reggio Emilia/London/Houston

Second Sight arrives: a project crystallizing the extraordinary artistic coherence of Adi Newton, founder of legendary industrial pioneers Clock DVA and groundbreaking projects like The Anti Group and The Future. This global work unites Italian critic Paolo Bertoni’s book Adi Newton: Second Sight with Clock DVA’s Second Sight CD.

Bertoni’s book meticulously interweaves Newton’s biography, cultural context, and progressive discography: from the seminal 1977 electronic project The Future (featuring future Human League members) to recent works Psychophysicist, Spectral Unit, and EXT Volume 1.

The Clock DVA album – curated by Newton and Maurizio TeZ Martinucci – reconstructs the group’s 2010s sonic archive, documenting their creative rebirth after a 30-year hiatus culminating in Noesis (2023).

Second Sight celebrates Newton’s nearly 50 years of nonconformist sonic research and prescient vision: heir to avant-garde movements, guardian of radical thought’s esoteric roots, and a pioneer of sci-fi/technology convergence within underground media culture.
