9 November – 12 November 2023
University of Greenwich
Concerts / Talks / Performances / Screenings / Installations
This audiovisual festival brings together international artists and experts exploring the relationship between sounds and images, and the images which sounds can construct by themselves.
To celebrate the publication of the new book on sonic creativity “Art of Sound: Creativity in Film Sound and Electroacoustic Music” and the launch of our new creative practice research facilities the “Shared Hub for Immersive Future Technologies” this 2023 edition of the festival celebrates works responding to the theme “Creativity Shared”.
From over 340 submissions, we have curated a rich programme of complementary talks, screenings, loudspeaker orchestra concerts, and performances – bringing together composers, filmmakers, electronic musicians, live visual performers, researchers from all over the world to stimulate discussion, debate and engage diverse perspectives and new insights on sound and audiovisual practice.
Special Guests
We are delighted to welcome the following featured artists as special guests:
John Young
Composer
John Young is a composer working in the field of electroacoustic music. His output includes works for multi-channel loudspeaker environments, music for instruments and electroacoustic sounds and electroacoustic documentary conceived for radio.
Jorge Lopes Ramos
Interactive Theatre and Performance
Over the past two decades, Jorge’s research has addressed a fast growing, yet significantly unresearched area of investigation: immersive, participatory and interactive theatre. His research contributions have helped advance the subject area, both nationally and internationally, through an extensive record of original, significant and rigorous research through publications in book chapters, research reports, conference papers and practice-as-research (PAR) outputs.
