Mogwai
Performing live to Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait
A film directed by Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno and produced by Sigurjon Sighvatsson, Anna Lena Vaney and Victorien Vaney
Fri 26 Jul 2013 / 19:30, Barbican Hall
Tickets: £25 – 30
One of the most beguiling portrayals of an individual in recent cinematic history, Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait is a football film like no other. Using 17 cameras, the film tracks the legendary French midfielder Zinédine Zidane throughout a 2005 Spanish league match at Madrid’s imposing Bernabéu Stadium — on and off the ball, in the thick of the action and on its periphery. The result, from directors Douglas Gordon and Philippe Parreno, is a dramatic, hypnotic and deeply beautiful depiction of one of the world’s finest footballers performing on one of the sport’s grandest stages. The film’s soundtrack was composed by Mogwai, the Glasgow quintet that has built a deserved reputation for the fearsome intensity of their live shows. In July, the band will perform the soundtrack live alongside the movie for the first time, with the premiere at Manchester International Festival and then at the Barbican in London.
Produced by the Barbican in association with ATP concerts

The support for Raime at LSO St Lukes on 31 May 2013 has been confirmed as chamber music trio Mohammad, featuring Coti K (contrabass), ILIOS (oscillators) and Nikos Veliotis (cello). Based in Greece, Mohammad make long form drone works that explore the lower end of the frequency spectrum and the results are monumental slow moving physical blocks of sound, both daunting and musical. Mohammad’s new album Som Sakrifis (out on PAN) includes tracks of deep space experimentation where the acoustic and electronic blend together, taking the listener on an expansive journey through the netherworld of the low range whilst retaining distinct traces of musicality.
