PRESS RELEASE
FIRST PLASTIKMAN LIVE SHOW IN 9 YEARS
ANNOUNCED TODAY
Windsor, Ontario
March 2nd, 2004
Richie Hawtin announced today the first Plastikman live show on
plastikman.com. The event will take place June 3rd, 2004 in Montreal,
Canada as the opening event to this year’s Mutek festival (mutek.ca). It
will be the first live performance of Plastikman material since 1995.
Hawtin describes the show as a rare, one-night performance incorporating
multiple media with the artist controlling all parameters of the event.
As with his DJ sets, he will also involve unprecedented new artistic
technologies — all developed and customised for this show.
The following entities are partners in producing the show:
Mutek — www.mutek.ca <http://www.mutek.ca>
Derivative Inc. — www.derivativeinc.com <http://www.derivativeinc.com>
Crush Inc. — www.crushinc.com <http://www.crushinc.com>
Ableton, AG — www.ableton.com <http://www.ableton.com>
Digidesign — www.digidesign.com <http://www.digidesign.com>
Turkish video artist Ali Mahmut Demirel, who directed the eye-popping
video for the ‘Disconnect’ (novamute/Minus) single, as well as new media
event producer/curator Kevin McHugh have both contributed to Hawtin’s plans.
Previous Plastikman live shows have achieved almost mythic renown.
Artists, critics, and fans still talk about performances at Glastonbury
Festival, Tribal Gathering, and underground events in Detroit. In the
years since, Hawtin has increased his profile as a DJ and producer,
constantly updating, innovating and pioneering new technologies. The
current Plastikman album ‘Closer’ is out now on novamute/M-nus.
