October 17 – 19, 2024
Schauspielhaus Wien, Porzellangasse 19, 1090 Wien

AI Future Sounds Festival (All–In–Future–Sounds)

… why not look into the future, when the past was … only half as good!

We open the windows to the sonic future of electronic sounds and are excited to present three evenings of electroacoustic, acousmatic, live-generated, and projected art.
The program pays tribute to Francis Dhomont, a pioneer of acousmatic music, who passed away in December 2023 at the age of 98.

Additionally, you can experience performances by artists from Montréal, Mexico City, Paris, Lisbon and Vienna, as well as the latest multi-channel and Ambisonic compositions realized at the Vienna Immersive Sound Studios by The Acousmatic Project.

For the first time in its history, the Vienna Acousmonium will be installed at Schauspielhaus Wien. Here, the full-range speakers of the orchestra will be audible in their entire frequency spectrum. The unique architecture of the performance space, with its different elevation levels, allows for extraordinary soundscapes, making the Ephemeral dynamic-motion sound sculptures conceived by Thomas Gorbach uniquely experienceable.

To top off the three-day spectacle, the 64-channel system with an Ambisonic dome from Ottosonic Systems will be added as a world first among speaker orchestras. You can expect an exciting new sound experience that will redefine the boundaries of your hearing.
