An ambitious project from American DJ, producer and Grammy nominated composer Carl Craig, arrives at the Barbican in April 2018. In Synthesizer Ensemble Craig’s techno tracks have been adapted to a symphonic language with the assistance of his collaborator, experimental pianist and composer Francesco Tristano. This project, some ten years in the making, is performed live by a group of musicians across an array of keyboards and synthesizers, at the Barbican Craig will be joined by pianist Kelvin Sholar.
Releasing his first track on a 1989 Virgin UK compilation album, Carl Craig has since become one of Detroit’s most notable techno DJ talents, with a career reaching far beyond his native American hometown and on to global recognition. Craig created his own label Planet E Communications in 1991 and he has featured in top DJ lists by media such as Rolling Stone and Resident Advisor. Craig is continually adding to a list of remixes for other artists, extending to over 100 cuts for the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Hot Chip and Pet Shop Boys; his 2008 remix for Junior Boys’ Like A Child earned Craig a Grammy award nomination.
In support comes Paper Dollhouse (Astrud Steehouder and Nina Bosnic). For this Barbican show Astrud will be joined by Asher Levitas who produced the new album ‘The Sky Looks Different Here’.
Produced by the Barbican in association with The Hydra.
