Focus Features will release “The Theory of Everything,” a biopic about British physicist Stephen Hawking, on Nov. 7.

The film is based on the book “Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen” by Jane Hawking, the scientist’s first wife. It focuses on his early life before and after his diagnosis of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease).

It stars Eddie Redmayne as Stephen Hawking, and Felicity Jones as his wife.

Pink Floyd Milan exhibit postponed

Posted August 11, 2014 by Floydian Slip

“Their Mortal Remains,” the massive Pink Floyd exhibit scheduled to open Sept. 19 in Milan, Italy, has been postponed.

Evolve Devolve, the Italian promoter of the event, issued a statement today saying the complexity of the installation made it impossible for the company to meet the timeline.

The company has temporarily suspended ticket sales for the 3-month event. Tickets already purchased will remain valid and may be used once new dates are announced, or can be refunded at point of sale.

The exhibit will include 300 items flown in from all over the world, occupying approximately 27,000 square feet.

New Andy Jackson album coming this fall

Posted August 11, 2014 by Floydian Slip

Esoteric Antenna will release “Signal to Noise,” a new album by long-time Pink Floyd recording engineer Andy Jackson, on Nov. 3.

The 7-track album will be available as a single CD and as a limited edition 2-disc digipack with 5.1 Surround Sound mix.

The label describes the album as “a fine, modern, progressive work, which draws on Andy Jackson’s exemplary work as an engineer and producer.”

Besides being an allusion to Jackson’s sound engineering background, the title refers to many of the lyrical themes of the album. “The album reflects on the sorting of what is important in life from the humdrum of everyday existence,” he explains, “and is in itself an analogy for the process of the creation of the album.”

The songlist will be:

The Boy in the Forest
One More Push
Invisible Colours
Spray Paint
Herman at the Fountain
It All Came Crashing Down
Brownian Motion

Jackson’s tenure with Floyd and its members includes work on “The Wall” film, “The Final Cut,” “A Momentary Lapse of Reason,” “The Division Bell,” “Pulse,” Roger Waters‘ “The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking,” David Gilmour‘s “About Face,” “On An Island,” and “Live in Gdansk,” as well as the upcoming Floyd album “The Endless River.”

His work’s earned him two Grammy nominations and Mix magazine’s award for best live sound engineer for the “Pulse” tour.

Esoteric Antenna is a division of Cherry Red Records of London.
