Mark your calendars and grab your tickets — this year’s festival is a feast for lovers of experimental sound and adventurous music! We’ve invited artists with unique perspectives on our transforming world, performing at unforgettable venues: from concert halls to a scenic outdoor pool, a sauna, and a listening hut on top of a mountain — each space offering a new way to experience sound.
