Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have announced Future Ruins, a unique spin on the regular ol’ music festival: a day-long event where the world’s most successful film and television composers will have the opportunity to perform their music in front of audiences, removed from the big screen or the little screen at home. “It’s about giving people who are, literally, the best in the world at taking audiences on an emotional ride via music the opportunity to tell new stories in an interesting live setting,” Reznor elaborated in a press statement.
The event is set for the Los Angeles Equestrian Center, and artists will reportedly be performing in a variety of different formats, from solo sets to full bands to big orchestral concoctions, as inspired by the success of recent festival appearances and tours by Danny Elfman and Hans Zimmer. “There’s no headliner,” the duo explained. “There’s no hierarchy. This is a stacked lineup of visionaries doing something you might not see again.”
Artists set to perform include Reznor and Ross, John Carpenter, Mark Mothersbaugh, Questlove, Goblin, Ben Salisbury and Geoff Barrow (Annihilation), Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein (Stranger Things), and more, as well as a performance of Howard Shore’s score for Crash.
