Bio
Future Baroque is a forward-facing artistic laboratory. It’s work focuses on contemporary social and economic justice issues through the lens of marginalized cultural identities in a satirical futurist story-world. Using theatrical music presentations, dance, fashion and visual arts the Future Baroque stimulates discussion around the overt and covert forms of oppression, coercion, and systemic power imbalances within society.
The project mission is to explore storytelling at the intersection between technology and the arts, and empower youth creators to politically engage with a society that desperately needs their voices. Original Synthpop content, as well as repertoire from historically marginalized late-baroque / early classical era composers (i.e. women and cultural minorities) will be recorded, performed, and broadcast on the internet.
Musical inspirations include; early music, world music, new
opera, psycho-acoustics, multi-disciplinary improvisation, as well as late
90's industrial, trance techno, and avante rock. Drawing on this wide variety of bizarre and baroque
sources creates a unique retro-futurist sound for Future Baroque.
