Salford Sonic Fusion Festival

Thursday 21 - Sunday 24 March 2013
At University of Salford, MediaCityUK and Peel Park campuses

Salford Sonic Fusion Festival celebrates cutting-edge international explorations in contemporary music from across the globe and blurs the boundaries between avant-garde classical, experimental electronic popular and improvised music.

Over four days the festival will present a range of experimental sonic experiences and includes sound installations, audio-visual and interactive live works and live performances. The works aim to explore digital technologies and broadening access to world-class experimental music. The programme includes UK and world premiere performances and new commissions from international performers including regions often underrepresented in European music festivals.

We are a 'paper free' festival so we won't be providing printed brichures. The brochure and schedules are downloadable from these links and can be viewed on any smart phone:

Throughout the Festival:

Sonic Fusion Projects: Mark Fell and Graeme Truslove
Listening Rooms: Various Artists
Collections Showcase: Mark Leckey, Christian Marclay, Tracey Moffat and Sam Taylor-Wood
