4. Identity - Memories of Being Human - A Soundtrack Journey through 'Blade Runner' (1982)
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 Los Angeles 2019, where Vangelis turns synth pads, sequencers, and fragile melody into neon weather. City rain, artificial memory, and synthetic romance share the same lonely atmosphere.
Listen for the moments when the machines sound most human. As melody emerges from noise and disappears into it again, ask whether a manufactured memory can carry a real feeling, and what remains when a life vanishes like tears in rain.
This live session focuses on Ridley Scott's original 1982 film and Vangelis's score. The related ISO-4 programme pairs Blade Runner with 2046, but the 2046 material is not part of this event.
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 explores memory, identity, empathy and what it means to feel human on screen.
For Blade Runner fans, soundtrack lovers, film fans, DJs, selectors and anyone interested in intentional listening.
