Signals from the Cosmos - Acceptance, Margate Arts Club

A guided listening experience exploring language, grief, circular time, and acceptance through Jóhann Jóhannsson's ‘Arrival’ (2016) score at Margate Arts Club

7.30pm - 9.30pm

5. Acceptance | Learning to Remember Forward - A Soundtrack Journey through 'Arrival' (2016)

Socialcreatures is a small team of creatives, musicians, audiophiles, technologists and therapists who create guided music listening events.

They create smaller connected experiences for 30-60 people. Using intentional listening and often exploring the psychological themes within music and their therapeutic benefits, they focus on artist curated music... so albums, film scores and other experimental forms.

Join them for an intimate two-hour journey through first contact, where voices without words, low drones, and returning motifs make understanding audible before it becomes clear. Jóhannsson lets communication emerge slowly from texture while memory and future begin to fold into one another.

Listen for unfamiliar sounds starting to carry meaning and for motifs returning changed. As private grief and global consequence enter the same musical space, ask whether knowing an ending changes the value of choosing the experience.

Connect, relax and quietly settle in with 30 other guests in the intimate and comfortable surroundings of the Margate Arts Club.

Rather than watching the film, you’ll listen to the score as a story. Expect a focused soundtrack listen, minimal non-distracting visuals and text to set context, and a relaxed discussion about how music gives form to language, grief, circular time and acceptance on screen.

For Arrival fans, soundtrack lovers, film fans, DJs, selectors and anyone interested in intentional listening.
