Marconi Union will be performing live Saturday July 15th in Manchester at Band On The Wall.
Live, the band perform to a backdrop of split-screen film projections created by emerging Manchester arts collective DOTCA – characterised by the social, political and technological themes hinted at within their music. Their music is measured and solemn on occasion, misty and dreamy on others, discordant and grating as well, but always underpinned with a hint of experimentation that pushes boundaries, setting out to challenge as well as to entertain.

“Every day I wake up and smile,
Twenty four hours lie ahead of me.
I vow to live each moment fully
And look at all beings with compassionate eyes.”
“I see ambient music as a positive force in our world. It can’t change it but it might be strong enough to inspire people, to help them heal and to spread optimism.”
