Thomas Dolby hosts a TEDx, and you’re invited

TED’s Musical Director, Thomas Dolby, lives at the crossroads of music and technology — and he’s hosting a TEDx that will take you there too. On Nov. 6, 2010, he and the TEDxAldeburghMusic team invite you to the Snape Maltings concert hall, just outside Aldeburgh in Suffolk, for a day of talks and performances from the edge of music and tech.

Speakers including William Orbit (he produced Madonna’s Ray of Light) … David Toop (author of the classic Ocean of Sound, ex-Flying Lizards) … Tod Machover (watch his TEDTalk) … Imogen Heap (watch her TEDTalk) … Martyn Ware (founder of the Human League and Heaven 17) … pianist Louis Lortie, sound designer Nick Ryan, cellist and composer Peter Gregson, musician/inventor Tim Exile, with images from United Visuals Artists … and all hosted by Thomas Dolby (watch a few of his TEDTalks).

It’s a packed lineup, and tickets are £20. Learn more here >>
