This global work unites Italian critic Paolo Bertoni\u2019s book Adi Newton: Second Sight with Clock DVA\u2019s Second Sight CD.<\/p>\n<p>Bertoni\u2019s book meticulously interweaves Newton\u2019s biography, cultural context, and progressive discography: from the seminal 1977 electronic project The Future (featuring future Human League members) to recent works Psychophysicist, Spectral Unit, and EXT Volume 1.<\/p>\n<p>The Clock DVA album \u2013 curated by Newton and Maurizio TeZ Martinucci \u2013 reconstructs the group\u2019s 2010s sonic archive, documenting their creative rebirth after a 30-year hiatus culminating in Noesis (2023).<\/p>\n<p>Second Sight celebrates Newton\u2019s nearly 50 years of nonconformist sonic research and prescient vision: heir to avant-garde movements, guardian of radical thought\u2019s esoteric roots, and pioneer of sci-fi\/technology convergence within underground media culture.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>BIOGRAPHY : ADI NEWTON<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Adi Newton<\/strong>\u00a0stands as one of the cult figures of the original experimental electronic-industrial scene that emerged in late-1970s England. In 1978, he founded Clock DVA in Sheffield. During the 1980s, Newton developed two distinct projects\u2014Clock DVA and The Anti Group\u2014which, alongside\u00a0<strong>Throbbing Gristle, Cabaret Voltaire<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Test Department<\/strong>, defined the polymedia approach for the Industrial music scene. By the 1990s, Newton sharpened the electronic, experimental, and cyberpunk dimensions of his work. In the 2010s, he revived Clock DVA with renewed vigour, expanding globally through his creative labs, Armcomm and Anterior Research.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Why Second Sight Is an Essential Release<\/p>\n<p><strong>CREDIBILITY EMPHASIS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The book\u2019s author, Paolo Bertoni, is a renowned Italian music critic with over 30 years of experience in the field.
