Trent Reznor And Atticus Ross Announce Future Ruins Festival Highlighting Composers Of Film Music

On Wednesday (May 14), Oscar-winning duo Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross unveiled details of the inaugural Future Ruins Festival set to take place at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center on November 8. The event will celebrate film music with rare live performances by renowned composers such as Mark Mothersbaugh, John Carpenter, Hildur Guðnadóttir, and Questlove (performing the film scores of Curtis Mayfield). “Some of the most powerful music of our time has never been heard live—until now,” reads the festival announcement, which describes the gathering “as a first-of-its-kind music festival of the world’s most influential composers.”

Artists will reimagine their scores for a live audience across three stages, with a lineup including Danny Elfman, Stranger Things duo Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein, Terence Blanchard, Isobel Waller-Bridge, and more. “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 said in a statement. “There’s no headliner. There’s no hierarchy. This is a stacked lineup of visionaries doing something you might not see again.” Tickets go on sale on May 21 at 12 p.m. PT via Future Ruins site. (Rolling Stone)
