Time Based: Sonic Interventions

A festival of experimental music by Ukrainian and UK artists exploring the sounds that shape us, move us, and disrupt our world.

Time Based: Sonic Interventions is a festival of experimental music, sound art and cross-cultural collaborations between Ukrainian and Scottish artists. With a focus on the imperative to speak out and have your voice heard, the festival offers a unique platform for collaboration via live concerts, sonic happenings and audio-visual installations – weaving together the rich cultural heritage of both nations. A talks and public engagement programme further encourages audiences to pause, reflect, and connect, to demonstrate solidarity in the face of aggression and to engage with the beauty and danger of sounds beyond our control.

To delve deeper into the themes of the festival, free talks & engagement programme will feature discussions with the artists and curators, as well as a works featured at David Dale Gallery. On Friday 13 June A-J Reynolds & Eliza Coulson, the women behind experimental writing platform Gallery Bagging, will host a [synonym| session - a facilitated group writing session that will concentrate on the collaboration betweenthe collective force that is Photinus Studios & Scottish composer and sound artist Zoe Irvine. If you are looking to enchance your experience, to meet some new like-minded people and to improve your writing skills, then this session will be for you!
