Three days of music, sound, meeting and ideas

2020 saw the global soundscape change beyond measure as normal life came to a halt, streets emptied and the world slowed down. This opened the stage for new sounds to occupy these spaces, fill the silence and define for many the sound of isolation. For some the Stay at Home directive has resulted in greater appreciation of or reconnection with the environment immediately around us, coupled with a deeper awareness of the human effects on the environment as the climate crisis continues to surge.

For 2021, BEAST FEaST takes place in partnership with the UK and Ireland Soundscape Community and the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology. We invite submissions which reflect, respond to and look beyond the events of 2020, considering how we emerge and recalibrate.

Join us for 3 days of music, sound, meeting and ideas with featured artists including Hildegard Westerkamp (Canada), Budhaditya Chattopadhyay (Netherlands / India), Chris Watson (UK), Pete Stollery (UK) and Yang Yeung (Hong Kong).

The main area of each sound object is refferred to nature moment, methaphisic moment, ascetic moment, abstract moment, medidative moment, journey moment. End of the tour: pick your sound card moment Development possibilities: people are invited in the future to follow another soundwalk tour with a different general sound leitmotive. They will listen to the same sound objects installation and they will understand if their “personal sound moment” has changed. The audience will pick (maybe) another sound card and will remember their “old” sound moment. The main purpose of it is to fix the present and to learn its development.
