A rare immersive listening event celebrating Pink Floyd’s mythical abandoned post–Dark Side of the Moon project. The album that never was — reimagined 50 years on by a collective of underground legends.
What if Wish You Were Here had sounded completely different?
Before Pink Floyd began work on that album, they briefly pursued a bold and radical idea: a full LP made with no musical instruments at all — only household objects. The concept was abandoned, consigned to rumour and fragments in the archives… until now.
Household Objects: Pink Floyd Mythical Abandoned Album – 50th Anniversary Immersive Listening Event invites you to step inside that unrealised future — to hear not a tribute, but a reimagining of the roads not taken.
This immersive evening features a curated playback of the 2CD project produced by Barry Lamb & William Hayter (The 62nd Gramophone Company), featuring contributions from cult and underground figures associated with:
Gong, Caravan, Zoviet France, Henry Cow, The Residents, Rapoon, Slapp Happy, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, The Monochrome Set, Flying Lizards and more.
Foreword by Nick Mason (Pink Floyd), who described the project as “far more interesting than anything we created.”

This is not a gig — it is a deep listening session, a kind of sonic archaeology: a chance to hear an interpretation of the album that might have followed Dark Side of the Moon if Pink Floyd had continued down the path they briefly opened.
Half a century on, the abandoned Household Objects concept feels strangely contemporary: a world where the “ordinary” is treated as a legitimate source of wonder — where texture becomes tone and environment becomes instrument. In revisiting this lost chapter, we’re not just looking backwards, but completing a thought the band never got to finish.
This is not a gig. It is an act of deep listening — a moment of stillness, presence, and sonic curiosity. The space is curated more like a gallery or séance of memory: an evening where audiences enter not to watch performers, but to inhabit a sound world.
Spaces are limited due to the intimate setting of Hundred Years Gallery.
