The International Festival for Innovations in Music Production and
Composition takes place at Leeds College of Music and the City of Leeds
from Thursday 12 to Friday 13 March 2015. iFIMPaC is an annual event
focusing on practice related innovations in Music Production and
Composition. iFIMPaC creates a unique environment for composers,
producers, music industry representatives, academics, educators and
students to discuss their compositional, pedagogical and production work
as practice-led research. This year’s event will be in association with
Nonclassical where we will be running a
Nonclassical club night.
iFIMPaC are pleased to announce the following:
Keynote speaker and artist: Trevor Wishart
Concert is 12th March 2015 @ Leeds College of Music (£8, but included in
the delegate fee for those attending 12th March)
Keynote event: Radioland: Kraftwerk’s Radioactivity Revisited
Marking its 40th anniversary, keyboard ace Matthew Bourne (The Leaf
Label), Franck Vigroux on electronics and installation artist Antoine
Schmitt explore Kraftwerk’s seminal 1975 album Radioactivity as a live
performance experience, for the first time ever. Following their own
personal paths through this incredible work, Bourne, Vigroux and Schmidt
will turn Radioactivity inside out, exploring this ground breaking album
in their own inimitable way.
A bank of analogue and digital instruments provide the mothership from
which this Anglo-French union travels through what still sounds utterly
contemporary. Intensifying the experience, Antoine Schmidt creates
striking live video, transporting the audience into the stratosphere of
Kraftwerk’s futuristic sound world.
