Foldback

shorditch festival“People are finding their machine code for escape, diversion, switching over to the other thing- away from life….. toward a change in the program, and therefore their experience of time.”

Foldback will bring together a cross section of sound practitioners to an event that will allow them to meet, compare notes and present a diverse range of works. The event will provide a platform for education, new collaborations and be a celebration of many forms of sound based creativity.

This three day sound festival and affiliated exhibition will be held between Reception Space and Meals & SUVs in August. The event will include themed seminars and a gallery show, both exploring the work of international sound practitioners.

Curators, have each set out a different day of discussions, performances, demonstrations and screenings covering separate areas of activity.

Curated by Matt Lewis, Sebastian Lexer, Tom Richards, Bern Roche Farrelly
