ABOUT THE FESTIVAL:
supersonic = a one day sonic arts festival based around the theme
of sonic modification.

As a generation growing up in 20th century, technology took many
rapid turns throughout our early years, the next new thing was
always just around the corner, giving toys and computers a very
short life span before they had to be upgraded to the newest and
shiniest model. Moving in to the next century the constant quest
for the latest technology hasn’t let up, but it has given way to
nostalgia leading to a fascination with retro toys and technology.
This fascination has prompted artists to explore the use of old
technology, re-interpreting the purpose of old games, modifying old
toys with new technology. The theme of Super Sonic will be based
around the theme of modification and re-interpretation. The artists
/ musicians will be selected based on their relevance to the
central theme, each of the artists, in ways unique from one
another, source and collect existing sounds/ objects / imagery to
be modified and re-issued as a new sound or product. —
