Heavy Metal — Birkenhead

Manchester Collective

Future Yard

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.<a href="https://manchestercollective.co.uk/metal" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">manchestercollective.co.uk/metal</a>

Polly uses the unique combination of her cello and electronic loops to take the listener on an evocative, cinematic journey exploring natural landscapes and phenomena. Using live looping and other effects, Polly will build and create her tracks live on stage, with the audience immersed in this process. Her music draws upon classical, folk, jazz and film musical influences.
