Our twice yearly festival of experimental electronic sound returns.
Twice a year, composers and staff from the Department of Music (and some helping hands) spend a day setting up a bespoke 360 degree dome of speakers in Firth Hall. With the lights off, this soundsystem is the perfect setup for a truly mesmerising and immersive weekend of electronically composed and crafted sound. Expect ambient music, sound art, sonic experiments, field recordings, and everything else at the cutting edge of electro-acoustic composition. Previous guests include Beatriz Ferreyra, Jonty Harrison, Hans Tutschku, Bredbeddle, Jason Sharp, Brona Martin and more.
Saturday’s concert will feature environmental sound artist Julia Schauerman and some selections from the Music Department including Boyi Bai and Mario Cáceres. We will be hosting an exhibition of some of Julia’s work also.
