FORM comes to Arizona May 22. Your first listen is here.
Arcosanti rises up out of the Arizona desert like a mirage; an alien city in the alien landscape of the desert west. It’s an “urban laboratory?” (the question mark is street-sign official) dedicated to the preservation of Place: architecture, ecology, and meaning. And it’s something like home to Hundred Waters, who stumbled upon the community after weeks on the road, on the day they completed their first album, The Moon Rang Like A Bell.
To mark the release of Moon, Hundred Waters & Family organized FORM, a three-day music and arts festival at Arcosanti. On May 22, FORM will return to the desert, with performances by Hundred Waters, The Antlers, How To Dress Well, Majical Cloudz, Holly Herndon, Julianna Barwick, Machinedrum, Jacques Greene, Mutual Benefit, Pharmakon, Mas Ysa and more (as well as a Moog Sound Lab!).
“Just as Arcosanti was designed to explore how man can live in harmony with the natural world, FORM reconsiders the festival experience by focusing on place, environment and interaction. It’s a sanctuary for inspiration - a time and place to coalesce, share and experience things. It’s intimate but its effect could extend endlessly. It’s honest, it’s beautiful and it’s a really fucking good time."
Zach Tetreault, Hundred Waters
