About

LightSounds is an international festival dedicated entirely to audiovisual art, bringing attention to it as a standalone artform, and not a derivative, peripheral form stemming from either music or visual art. Therefore, it aims to invite artists who, either in collaboration with other festival artists or solo, will present concerts, performances and installations that fuse the musical and visual arts into one integral, aesthetic experience. In 2023 the inaugural edition is taking place and boasts a 3-day programme including concerts, performances and installations.

The first day of the festival sets the scene with a conference entitled ‘The Future of Music,’ during which an extraordinary and diverse set of artists will present their views about where and how the musical arts, and art more broadly, may be headed. The conference aims to try to provide audiences and artists with a better understanding of how seemingly disparate traditions can co-exist without mis-judging or excluding one another, all the while upholding their respective, distinct and dignified places. Speakers will include Beibei Wang (CN/UK), Orphy Robinson (UK), Zubin Kanga (UK), Rafał Gorzycki (PL), Dele Sosimi (NG/UK), Florence To (DE) and Slavo Krekovic (SK).

The two further days of the festival will include engaging artist talks and incredible concerts,

with performances by artists such as Marti Guillem Ciscar (ES), Pierre Bouvier Patron (FR/UK), Rie Nakajima (JP/UK), Jakub Królikowski (PL), Otto Willberg (UK) and David Zucchi (CA/UK). Some of the concerts will be solo audiovisual projects, while some will be collaborative sets, curated especially for the purposes of the festival.

For the first edition, the programme will truly have something for everyone, including acoustic sounds as well as electronic ones, traditional instruments as well as novel creations, and projection as well as live painting. This still emerging artform deserves to be celebrated in all its inspirational present trends so that in the future it thrives and continues to expand the range of experiences audiences can derive from perception.
