Other notable announcements and developments today…
• The Nonclassical record label has appointed Natalia Franklin Pierce as Executive Director. “I am excited about the opportunity to lead Nonclassical, with its focus on bringing cutting edge experimental work to new audiences through its events and label”, she says. “It is an organisation I have long admired”. She will take over the role from Eleanor Ward in August.
• Bastille have announced a theatrical launch event for new album ‘Doom Days’. According to the blurb, “playwright Charlotte Bogard Macleod has fused 3D sound and storytelling inspired by the new album, to create a special immersive theatrical experience. Three intriguing stories intertwine and fans will select which character’s story to follow – using headphones – while ‘Doom Days’ scenarios are acted out around them”. If you can’t get along to 9294 Studio in Hackney to see it live, the whole thing will be livestreamed on YouTube too. Here’s a trailer.
