Test Card Live: 007
Event description
Test Card Live is a showcase of artists, musicians and performers exploring the development of new technologies and techniques in the area of audiovisual performance. The seventh edition of the showcase will feature a headline performance from audio visual artist Michael Lightborne, commissioned work from Benjamin Finney and Michael-Jon Mizra, and Test Card resident video artist Elle Bulger. We commissioned Benjamin and Michael-Jon through our ‘Change Or Be Changed’ programme to write an original piece of music, of any genre, in response to the changing times of the music industry. We’re delighted to premiere their work at Texture, one of Manchester’s coolest new venues as part of Test Card Live. Doors will be open from 7pm.
As part of a wider celebration for BBC Music Day, we’re also excited to present an afternoon workshop with the Noise Orchestra. Find out more and book.
