Future Known As: Commissions and Collaboration

Be inspired by new perspectives on music-making and the creative process.

Future Known As is a series of monthly meet-ups for artists taking place across Manchester. For you if you want to:

• Find your unique sound
  Get to grips with new musical techniques
  Link up with the Northern music scene

Each session is split into three parts:

• Hear about another artist’s unique style
• Explore how to apply their techniques to your work
• Chat about your own approaches to making music

About this event

Hear from artist and author AbuQadim Haqq about his techno-inspired graphic novels ‘The Book of Drexciya’, a story of resilience through afro/techno-futurism and the creative sci-fi origins of Detroit techno group Drexciya.

Then take part in a workshop with electronic artists All Trades and Prieste5s. As they reflect on being commissioned as part of From the Depths learn about:

• International collaboration
• How they used AbuQadim’s work as inspiration
• Live performance with electronics

Stick around for a free after-hours shindig (10pm-3am) featuring:

• All Trades & Prieste5s presenting From the Depths (Live)
• Esmé
• Granite Mechani
