Pitchblack Playback - Phil Colins - Face Value
Glasgow Science Centre partners with Pitchblack Playback to transform The Planetarium into a space for deep listening.
For one night only on 15 November, immerse yourself in Steven Wilson's stunning new 5.1 mix of Phil Collins' classic debut 'Face Value' at Pitchblack Playback's listening session in the dark, followed by a screening of a recently filmed conversation between Phil and Steven.
Hear this stunning record played loud in uncompressed audio on our powerful planetarium sound system.
No phones; no talking; no distractions; just you and the music.
Pitchblack Playback sessions have been described as:
"This sounds great” — Rick Rubin
"A fabulous idea" — Jay Kay, Jamiroquai
"The optimal way to listen to an album" — Max Richter
"This might just be my favourite new thing to do" — Nihal, BBC Radio 5 Live
Your ticket includes a recycled cotton Pitchblack Playback eye mask, enhancing the darkness of the Planetarium experience.
As recommended by The Guardian, What Hi-Fi?, GQ, Time Out, FT Weekend and BBC 6 Music.

About the Planetarium
The Planetarium at Glasgow Science Centre has been upgraded to a spectacular, state-of-the-art, fulldome digital projection system (what a mouthful!). Our shows are live presenter-led or film based to take you on a journey through the solar system, into the Milky Way Galaxy and beyond, offering a truly out-of-this-world experience. Our spectacular full dome films display 360 degrees across the 15-metre hemispherical dome of the planetarium. It really is spellbinding stuff.
