Crafting extraordinary events for adventurous audiences combining music, art, film and cake.
FESTIVAL UPDATE
11th May 2009
"Of this welter of well organised, wisely curated festivals (ATP, Faster Than Sound, Sonar, Greenman) perhaps the best organised and most wisely curated was Supersonic. Plotted by Birmingham promoters Capsule, 2007's Supersonic inhabited the nexus where metal, folk and noise met." Plan B Magazine
"Supersonic, in our opinion the best festival in the world right now" Rock-A-Rolla Magazine
”AS British music festivals go, Birmingham’s annual Supersonic event is the best kind of mixed musical bag, a dizzying assortment of avant rock textures and Heavy Metal thunder on a bill which swings from the sublime to the ridiculous without once seeming ostentatiously eclectic. The Wire
Capsule are delighted to have confirmed some more amazing additions to this years Supersonic Festival line up, which include the unruly trio MONOTONIX, the enchanting ROSE KEMP and the sublime REMEMBER REMEMBER as well as the multi talented Norwegian electronic musician, graphic designer, illustrator filmmaker KIM HIORTHøY (Kim will be both performing and showing some of his films at this years festival).
In collaboration with Birmingham Jazz, Supersonic are proud to be hosting an exclusive UK performance by drum maverick BOBBY PREVITE, who will be presenting his unique project DAILED IN, joined by VJ Benton-C Bainbridge creating a live improvised audio visual experience. A prolific performer New Yorker Previte has played concert venues such a Lincoln Center and the New York EMPAC. Previte triggers every sound with live- no loops, no laptops and no overdubbing. VJ Benton-C paints with light, spilling off the screen and onto the performers. Using obsolete and forgotten technology scavenged from the tech dump, Benton-C warps video into strange shapes not seen since Electric Company, while Previte whips sonic fragments into powerful songs.
