Hundred Waters announce 2015 FORM fest w/ Antlers, How to Dress Well, Majical Cloudz, Mutual Benefit, Mitski, more

FORM

Last year, Hundred Waters threw their first-ever FREE three-day FORM Festival in Arizona’s experimental town Arcosanti, and this year they’re doing it again from May 22-24. They’ve got a few of the same names, including How to Dress Well, Majical Cloudz, Julie Byrne and Kodak to Graph, as well as new faces such as The Antlers, Holly Herndon, Jacques Greene, Julianna Barwick, Mutual Benefit, Pharmakon, Mitski, Tokimonsta, Machinedrum and more. Here’s what Hundred Waters say about the fest:

Festivals are usually fast paced and high stress for artists and attendees. We’re lucky to spend a single day on site and even luckier to have a meaningful conversation with an artist we know or wish to know. With FORM, all of the artists and attendees stay on site together for the entire weekend. We eat together, dance together, share the whole experience together, and when it’s time to part ways, we leave with a very distinct memory of a very distinct time and place. We let the place and the environment shape that experience. As visitors to this beautiful, highly intentional micro city of Arcosanti, our appreciation for every day things like infrastructure, sustenance and community are heightened without even realizing it. Every human interaction more meaningful. Every cup of coffee or tea more delicious with the underlying thought of what it took to get it into your hands. A more present state of consciousness. A place to cultivate ideas.

If you’re interested in coming, we ask that you answer a few simple questions. The more creative your response, the better. After receiving your submissions, we’ll send out invites. Capacity is made limited to ensure the space is treated with care. If invited, just arrive and share a little piece of yourself with us as we will with you. See you in the desert 🙂

This year will also have a Moog Sound Lab performance series, “where artists can experiment and explore analog sound-scaping, synthesis and effects on never before seen Moog prototype synths and archival equipment. This will be the first time that the Moog Sound Lab experience has ever traveled outside of the Moog Factory.”

Once again, it’s totally free, you just have to RSVP to go. Full lineup and a new mini-documentary video about last year’s festival, below.

Hundred Waters are also hopping aboard a train with Skrillex, Diplo and friends for this year’s Full Flex Express tour.

Speaking of The Antlers, they’re releasing a live album, The Antlers in London, on June 15 via Transgressive. You can check out the tracklist and a video from that show, below…
