***Artist Info HERE***
Your ears are in for a treat!
Immerse yourself in a stunning collection of electroacoustic sound works from 80 composers hailing from 27 countries around the globe! These sessions are dedicated to diffusing fixed media—an artistic presentation where carefully crafted compositions created for loudspeakers are played for an audience.
The pieces showcase a diverse range of approaches and techniques. Some may be ambient, while others incorporate field recordings, household sounds, synthesizers, voice, sound design, and more. Some are crafted using computer programs and coding, others use analogue techniques such as tape splicing, or modified acoustic instruments. Some works are highly spatialized, creating a dynamic sense of movement in the room, while others feature the enveloping textures of granular synthesis, voices, water, and more.
Works will be presented in stereo and/or quadraphonically. Each piece ranges from 3-10 minutes in length, and has been created by a composer who generously submitted their piece to this festival, including works from: Perú, Germany, Argentina, Mexico, Austria, Brazil, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Canada, Cyprus, USA, Indonesia, Ireland, Portugal, Greece, Chile, Scotland, China, Hong Kong, Costa Rica, Germany, Poland, Norway, Tasmania, France, UK.
Whether you stop by for 10 minutes or 4 hours, these concerts are designed to give you a deeper appreciation for how sound can transform the way we listen & experience the world.
Come, sit, lie, listen. Open your ears, open your mind!!!
