Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross (The Social Network, Watchmen, Gone Girl, Challengers) have announced Future Ruins, a day-long event where the world’s most influential film and television composers step out from behind the screen and onto the stage. The musical festival will be set across three stages at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center this November and is designed to feel thoughtful and immersive, bringing this music to light in an environment where it has never been heard before. Ranging from electronic sets and live bands to orchestral performances, the audience will have the chance to experience live debuts from composers who rarely appear onstage. The composer lineup includes Reznor & Ross themselves, Cristobal Tapia de Veer (The White Lotus, Smile, Utopia, Babygirl), Danny Elfman (Batman, Spider-Man, Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas), Terence Blanchard (BlacKkKlansman, Malcolm X, Inside Man, The Woman King), Hildur Guðnadóttir (Joker, Chernobyl, A Haunting in Venice, Women Talking), Volker Bertelmann aka Hauschka (All Quiet on the Western Front, Conclave, Lion, The Amateur), Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow (Ex Machina, Civil War, Annihilation, Devs), John Carpenter (Halloween, They Live, The Thing, Escape from New York), Mark Mothersbaugh (The Royal Tenenbaums, The Lego Movie, A Minecraft Movie, Thor: Ragnarok), Isobel Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Munich: The Edge of War, Emma, Wicked Little Letters), Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein (Stranger Things, Native Son, Retaliators, Valley of the Boom), Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe (Candyman, Master, Telemarketers, Power), Tamar-Kali (Mudbound, Shirley, The Assistant, The Fire Inside) and Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin (Suspiria, Profondo Rosso/Deep Red, Dawn of the Dead). In addition, Questlove will be performing the works of Curtis Mayfield and the event will also feature a performance of Howard Shore’s score from David Cronenberg’s Crash.
