Forest Swords - In The Box Festival

Forest Swords is electronic producer, composer and visual artist Matthew Barnes, based in Liverpool.

Barnes is known for rewiring sounds into innovative and unique new worlds, most recently on the acclaimed album Bolted (Ninja Tune), remixes for the likes of Bjork, and collaborations with Massive Attack and Neneh Cherry.

His immersive albums and live shows (seen at festivals worldwide such as Sonar, Unsound and Glastonbury) explore the powerful in-between spaces between ancient and future sounds, melancholy and euphoria, light and dark.

Barnes' work as a composer includes music for the Oslo National Ballet, pieces at Shanghai Biennale and Melbourne Triennial, and a production of the Greek tragedy Fedra, currently touring across Italy's oldest outdoor theatres. Support TBC.
