Nightmare Before Christmas announce Bernard Parmegiani

All Tomorrows Parties next event The Nightmare Before Christmas 2008 which is curated by Melvins and Mike Patton and takes place from Friday 5th to Sunday 7th December at Butlins Holiday Camp, Minehead, Somerset has announced that acousmatic composer Bernard Parmegiani has been added to the line-up.

Bernard Parmegiani is described as a monument in the experimental music scene, his abstract electronic soundscapes have inspired many contemporary musicians and composers including Christian Fennesz, Aphex Twin and Jim O'Rourke. The term acousmatic means incorporating music from sounds that do not come from traditional vocal and instrumental technology, such as the sounds of a bird, or of a factory.

Bernard Parmegiani is the latest artist picked by Mike Patton, who along with The Melvins have chosen a line-up that includes Kill Me Tomorrow, Butthole Surfers, Mastadon, Isis, Neil Hamburger, Dalek, Big Business, Black Heart Procession, Torche, Farmers Market, Fantômas (performing The Director's Cut), The Locust, Zu, and Squarepusher. For the line-up details as available please click here. More acts will be announced over the coming months.

Tickets are on sale, priced from £150 per person, and £160 for Self Catering accommodation with sales being made per room or per chalet. The only ticket options remaining are 6-berth room-only, and 4-berth and 6-berth self-catering. To buy tickets, click here.

Due to the smaller chalet options selling out so fast, organisers have started a 'Share A Chalet' scheme for those who want to come but can't find enough people to buy a bigger chalet. If you wouldn't mind sharing with people you don't know in order to be able to buy a chalet, please email us at nightmarechalets@gmail.com with details of how many people you have interested in buying, and they will get back to you with more information on how you can pay individually for single chalet spaces.
