    Un-convention Factory, 8th May 2010

    As part of a larger event called Unknown Pleasures, celebrating the life of Ian Curtis on the 30th anniversary of his death, Un-Convention was commissioned to devise a very special version of their event.

    8 bands, 100 invited creatives and music industry professionals and 300 participants embarked on an experiment – to create, record and release a new record in one day, while exploring the current challenges, ideas and debates within the music industry.

    The Heritage Centre, in Macclesfield was transformed into a factory containing all of the elements and processes involved in creating a record. Participants were free to explore the factory, interact with the invited creatives and ultimately make all the decisions along the way.

    Eight established, new and unconventional bands/collaborators covered a track from Iggy Pop’s ‘The Idiot’, a record that meant a great deal to Ian Curtis. Each band performed the songs, in front of an audience, while the songs were recorded for the album.

    The album was completed in twelve hours.

    Release date: May 8, 2010
