SOUND PROGRAM ARCHIVE
Sound has been a distinct and continuous part of CYFEST since its early editions. The CYFEST Sound Program focuses on works in which sound is treated as a primary artistic medium, presented through installations, performances, commissions, and listening-based formats. Across different contexts and locations, the programme supports long-term engagement with sound practices, including the presentation of archival works and the development of dedicated sound-related initiatives within the festival framework.
The programme brings together international artists working with experimental electronics, field recording, and live electronic setups. Their practices emphasize live process over fixed form — from algorithmic composition and modular synthesis to electro-mechanical improvisation and sculptural sound. Many build or modify their own instruments, exploring feedback, chance, and the dynamic interplay between performer, machine, and space. What unites them is a shared investigative spirit: sound as both physical material and conceptual inquiry. Each performance unfolds as an act of listening and transformation — precise, risk-taking, and grounded in the immediacy of sonic experience.
