A
fierce blending of Electronica, using all the ammunition in the
pop culture canon, to create a representation of your best night's
dreams. A seamless blend of live and recorded music. Portrait
of a DJ as a young artist. Like a Be In but about Now,
(without forgetting about yesterday). Receptors on full, jacked right into
the neural net, just on the edge of sensory overload.
In the pre millennial age we need to come together, if not to a higher
sense of consciousness, at least into a state of conscious, an awareness
of the things going on around you, and there it is Future Perfect. Not
tomorrow, just today.
Future
Perfect is a sound system, integrating music, abstract sound,
video and light to create an environment. A cross cultural
concept mixing classic and popular electronica, tape loops, found sounds
and concept music. To create a trance inducing soundscape, and presenting
it in a challenging and interesting environment: DJ's, musicians, visual
artists, and social historians working together to define a new musical
frontier, while showing the world in which we live, in a different
light.
Future
Perfect is organized and orchestrated by Chris Strouth but it
is the combination of lots of different people and energies working
in concert to create something beyond any one individual. Using any of
the tools of media at hand from the web to vintage TV equipment.
Formed in Dec' of 96 starting at the legendary Minneapolis night club First
Avenue. The road since has taken it out of night clubs and put it into
museums and art centers. Future Perfect has put on shows at the
Walker Art Center, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum, and
in November at Intermedia Arts. The First Future Perfect record
"Music for Listening" was released in October of '97.
