**Wednesday, 18 November – Perspectives 2015: David Lynch Revisited, National Concert Hall, €42.50/€37.50, 8pm**

Director, screenwriter, visual artist and transcendental meditation enthusiast David Lynch’s partnership with Angelo Badalamenti yielded some of the eeriest scores in existence. Last June, David Coulter premiered his re-imagining of Lynch’s most revered scores in the Barbican. This Wednesday sees his assembled troop – Stuart Staples of Tindersticks, Jehnny Beth of Savages, Mick Harvey (ex-Bad Seeds), Cibo Matto, Stealing Sheep, Sophia Brous and Kirin J. Callinan – giving a live homage to Lynch’s universe.

The Dublin Art Book Fair (this year in collaboration with ID2015) launches on Wednesday with a book signing by Miriam Elia and a live set from Soil Creep, but Temple Bar Gallery will be a hive of creative goings-on until 22 November. On Thursday it will play host to a [public lecture](http://www.templebargallery.com/events/event/dabf-art-politics-design-visualising-identity-in-20th-century-ireland?ref=dublininquirer.com) by Dr Linda King on identity in twentieth-century Ireland, *1815*‘s photography magazine [launch](http://www.templebargallery.com/events/event/dabf-zine-launch-by-1815?ref=dublininquirer.com) and the [launch](http://www.templebargallery.com/events/event/dabf-new-dublin-press-presents-imagines?ref=dublininquirer.com) by New Dublin Press of *Imagines*, a collection of scores by Benjamin Dwyer, poems by Kimberly Campanello and viola performance by Garth Knox.

**Friday, 20 November – Emer O Boyle & Meadhbh O’Connor: 2039, Artbox, 11 am to 5 pm**

Artbox 2039, closing this Friday, explores the interactions between artists and scientists, and the parallels that tie the fields together, which in turn feed and influence each other. Emer O Boyle uses Cecilia Payne Gaposchkin’s PhD work on decoding the composition of the stars as her own starting point. On 14 February 1974, a stray asteroid orbiting Jupiter and Mars, 23 km in diameter and as old as our solar system, was observed and named: 2039 Payne Gaposchkin.

**Saturday, 21 November – Backstory #1: Donal Dineen & Stevi G, Sugar Club, 8pm**  

Hosted by the ever-affable Donal Dineen, Backstory is a  
new series of nights devoted to dancy tunes and original visuals. Cork DJ Stevie G is master of ceremonies for its baptism, and will be using the night to give his own take of the history of soul music, from 1930s West African boogie to modern-day beats.

**Sunday, 22 November – Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses, Convention Centre,€55 to €105, 6pm**

Listen! Do you remember the first glimpse of that breathtaking, open expanse of Hyrule field? Roaming the Lost Woods? That fecking owl? This four-movement symphony will feature music from *Ocarina of Time*, *Windwaker*, *Twilight Princess*, *A Link to the Past* and new music from the upcoming (eee) remake of the weirdest and most psychedelic of all the Zelda family, *Majora’s Mask*. There will not be a dry eye in the room.

**Monday, 23 November – *Macadam Stories*, Irish Film Institute, €11.50, 7.50pm**

Samuel Benchetrit’s idiosyncratic urban dramedy weaves together the stories of six dysfunctional characters in a housing project, connected by one broken-down elevator. Each life is slowly transformed as significant people enter their world: a depressed man, an actress at the end of her career, an American astronaut. Part of French Fest 2015\.

**Tuesday, 24 November – Lightning Bolt, Button Factory, €18, 7.30pm**

This will be a really solid occasion upon which to lose your mind. Lightning Bolt are a noise-rock duo comprised of Brian Chippendale on drums and vocals and Brian Gibson on guitar, and they give an incredible live performance. They’ve been delivering A+ anarchy for about two decades, and their first LP in five years, released this March, shows an even greater uncompromising intensity.
