About this Event
Big percussion, live electronics, and amplified strings. A distortion pedal called the Ibanez Tube Screamer makes an appearance. It’s not going to be a meditative listening experience. Sometimes, we all just need to scream into a pillow.
Ben Nobuto’s work is utterly contemporary. His music assimilates and responds to the dizzying array of digital media that Generation Z have lived with since birth. His first language is the internet. On, off, and on again. Attention and fragmentation. Manchester Collective are proud to premiere his brand-new work for strings, electronics, and percussion.
Alongside work by British-Bulgarian composer Dobrinka Tabakova, Bryce Dessner (of The National), and Michael Gordon (founder of legendary new music outfit Bang on a Can), the Collective will also give the world premiere of a new work by Sebastian Gainsborough, aka Vessel. Seb’s compositions tend towards the heavy and intense, but this will be something else altogether.

With support from Orryx
Orryx is the solo project of Bristol-based artist Christelle Atenstaedt. Her music is constructed from a web of interconnected loops and swirling mantric vocals that cut through with wilful intensity. Through her songs she explores themes of human psychology, otherworldly experiences, loss and transcendence.
