AUSTRALIAN EXCLUSIVE
Jeff Mills has spent a lifetime as
a sonic innovator. A founding
member of legendary Detroit
techno outfit Underground
Resistance, he has since the
mid-1980s been considered one
of the world’s foremost techno
producers and DJs. But Mills
has long since transcended
the boundaries of pure techno,
dispatching his precise, minimal
compositions to the realms of film,
dance, contemporary art and, now,
classical music.
Light from the Outside World sees
Mills work his deck-and-drum-
machine magic alongside the
60-piece Melbourne Symphony
Orchestra, conducted by longtime Mills collaborator Christophe
Mangou, for a 90-minute
arrangement by Mills and film
composer Thomas Roussel
that weaves classical, jazz and
electronica (including many of
Mills’ back-catalogue classics) into
a propulsive, electrifying mélange.
A futurist manifesto for the
post-genre age, this is Mills at his
most ambitious and exploratory
– delicate, dynamic and unlike
anything else you’ve ever heard.
Presented by arrangement with fünf.
