FutureEverything is an
award-winning multi-arts festival, based in Manchester. It comprises a
conference, art exhibition and live music programme that focus on the impact of
digital culture on our everyday lives – by curating playful and
experimental projects which invite audiences to bring the future into the
present.
Now
in its 17th year, the FutureEverything 2012 music programme
re-aligns the festival with its ambitious, electronic and experimental history,
presenting artists who are active in shaping the future of their genre.
Headlining
the festival is Amon Tobin ISAM (Live),
the spectacular A/V show from the Ninja Tune artist. FutureEverything brings the show to the North of England
for the first time. With the only other 2012 shows taking place in Brixton
and at Coachella festival, this offers a real opportunity
for Northern audiences to experience the dizzying onslaught of projection
mapping onto an enormous stage set – an A/V show that is truly dependant
on both sound and visuals to create a masterful, 3D assault on the senses.
Where
Amon
Tobin heralds the pinnacle of A/V, Matthew
Herbert’s One Pig
marries production techniques with the absurdly theatrical to underline a
political point. Tim Hecker performs his organ
compositions in-situ within the wonderful St. Philip’s Church, a space
also utilised by Forest Swords for a special
performance with a choir. Alt-J, who have
been generating huge radio airplay and acclaim ahead of their widely
anticipated debut album release in May 2012, and No Ceremony headline
a specially curated North-West showcase at Quay House, whilst artists such as Deadbeat,
Andy
Stott and Szare
refine their craft by going back to basics at the FutureEverything Opening
Party with MUTEK.
Venues
FutureEverything 2012 offers a smaller, cohesive musical footprint around the City
Centre. Our venues have been carefully chosen to allow a natural progression
from show to after-party.
We
will be re-using venues across each night, to allow a festival
‘feel’ and will combine large scale venues (Manchester Academy
and RNCM)
with smaller, underground venues such as Islington Mill, St Phillip’s
Church and a disused office block in Spinngfields
called Quay
House.
Working
alongside key venues and promoters across Manchester’s music scene, the FutureEverything festival
hosts audio-visual events, live performances, club nights and workshops across
the city.
