Sounds odd, doesn’t it? We can visualise many things, even non-happened events -you all know how powerful imagination can be- but how the hell do we visualise music? Well, promoters of Vienna’s audiovisual sound:frame Festival not only want us to visualise music but specifically digital music. That’s what the fourth outing of the internationally established audiovisual festival is all about. Because visuals now belong to clubbing just as much as the sound. The topic for this year is “Dimensions”, and so the focus is on the audiovisual playing of three-dimensional structures.
The most unusual locations
It might be seem a little bit complex, at first glance, but most important thing is that if you have planned to go to this prestigious meeting –one of the most popular audiovisual festivals in the whole Europe- you won’t know what to choose among so many programmed activities. As usual, the events of sound:frame 2010 involve exhibitions, live events, performances, symposia and workshops.
All of them will take place at various highly unusual locations, such as in the – also artistically speaking – highly active scene spot Pratersauna, at Fluc, in the Ottakringer Brauerei in the 16th district and in smaller galleries. In the urban space, for example on Karlsplatz, the aim is to draw attention with large façade projections. International artists will give live acts, including the Sofa Surfers, Planning to Rock, Lusine and Jack the Rapper.
If you are one of those people who are expecting anxiously the arrival of Sonar Festival or Klubbers Day, you must go to this Viennese appointment. Sound:frame will change your pre-conceived idea about this city. People don’t use to dance vals by streets and they are not obsessed with Princess Sissi either. They also challenge us to visualise digital music. I am not able to imagine anything else cooler and modern at this moment. So, if you get the message, hurry up and catch the best accommodation on Apartments in Vienna. You have time until 18th of April.
