I am proud to announce that Robin Guthrie will be performing Lumiere at the Wilshire Grand Hotel in downtown Los Angeles on November 20th 2005. This event will be hosted in the Wilshire's beautiful Pacific Ballroom, this evening promises to be an unforgettable night, hope to see everyone there.

Lumiere is an hour long animated film created as a backdrop to a sublime
collection of sensual and atmospheric, guitar only, instrumentals of truly
hypnotic beauty performed live by Robin Guthrie.

As the founder member of the seminal Cocteau Twins, Robin Guthrie has
created some of the most beautiful music of recent times and is widely
regarded as a musical visionary. The distinctive sonic landscapes that have
become his trademark are again on display throughout the Lumiere performance
and at time, touches upon his instrumental debut Imperial, his soundtrack to
Gregg Araki's award winning Mysterious Skin, released earlier this year, as
well as introducing exclusive new material from his delightful forthcoming
LP Continental. Needless to say, his many admirers will find much here that
they recognize and love.

Yet what marks this performance out from his recorded work is the
spaciousness of the music. Robin employs an astonishingly down-tempo pace
throughout to mesmerizing effect. This is music to drift away to... music
within which you can lose yourself...

Lumiere has been lovingly assembled with the same craft and techniques which
Robin has used in the sonic world for years, an interweaving and layering of
images, creating distinct moods which are reflected by the music being
played - "improvised within the framework; dictated by the visuals", relying
on layers of treated guitars, textures and sumptuously cyclic melodies.
