Joy Division songs reinterpreted for Live_Transmission

Joy Division songs have been reinterpreted by the Heritage Orchestra and Scanner for a theater production taking place in the U.K. this autumn. Live_Transmission: Joy Division Reworked features electro-orchestral versions of classics along with video backdrops created by visual artist Matt Watkins. According to the production's website, it won't be the standard run-of-the-mill cover set:

This sonic and visual spectacle turns the tables on the conventional concert experience.Rather than classical interpretations or cover versions, Live_Transmission is a fearless dismantling of Joy Division‘s visual and musical motifs, creating a hugely powerful immersive event that pays homage to the signature spirit that defined the group as one of the world’s most progressive ‘art’ bands.
