The CYFEST 16 Sound Program presents a curated selection of works by artists known for their distinctive approach to the intersection of sound, audio, music, and non-visual artistic expressions. The program encompasses installations and a performance series, fostering an environment for artists and audiences to delve into the realms of sound exploration. This year's program pays homage to Phill Niblock and features artists who share a personal connection with him, including Hans Tammen, Shelley Hirsch, and Thomas Ankersmit. Moreover, the program showcases emerging experimental artists Elina Bolshenkova, stackedplot, Satyarth Mishra Sharma, and Robert Poghosyan. Notably, the program spotlights TELLUS, the Audio Cassette Magazine, a pioneering experimental initiative that utilized audio cassettes to disseminate no wave music and audio art. Among the esteemed contributors to TELLUS are Sonic Youth, Louise Lawler, Richard Prince, David Wojnarowicz, Michael Gira, Merzbow, Joseph Beuys, Kurt Schwitters, Lawrence Weiner, George Brecht, Christian Boltanski, and George Maciunas. The program's curators are Sergei Komarov and Lidiia Griaznova.
