Cornelius @ The Barbican

Shibuya-kei pioneer Cornelius makes his Hall debut, playing music from his latest album Dream In Dream.

Experimental pop auteur Cornelius has built a reputation for pushing musical boundaries. From his earlier work with breakthrough album Fantasma (1997) blending motorik rhythms, French pop melodies, Beach Boys harmonies and glitched electronics to his dramatic shift in tones, forms and spaces in Point (2001) and his live music contributions to the Yellow Magic Orchestra and Yoko Ono’s Plastic Ono band, Cornelius' unique blend of art-pop has earned him a legion of fans worldwide.

Back with his seventh full-length album, Dream In Dream (2023) combines intimate moods with innovative layers of electronic and acoustic sounds. In this performance, you'll experience a complete synchronization of sound, visuals and lights as Cornelius invites you to drift in between reality and dreams through the hazy, spacious feel of his unique sound.
