Different Trains
As Metal Liverpool undertakes a massive collaboration with several creative titans, Getintothis’ Amaan Khan gets all excited about it.
Last September, Metal Liverpool brought a monumental gig to Edge Hill Station with Steve Reich‘s Different Trains. This year, it attempts to follow last year’s glory with another mammoth of an offering.
Metal in partnership with Barbican Centre, Warp Records, Boiler Room, Wild City and What About Art? will be presenting a brand new audio-visual show entitled Different Trains 1947.
Different Trains 1947 is a work inspired from Steve Reich‘s Different Trains and was commissioned to commemorate the 70th anniversary of India’s independence.
