Göteborg Art Sounds 2003

The third edition of the festival took place between October 11-19 2003 and hosted concerts, installations, performance pieces, visual art and seminars.

The subtitle for the festival was festival för ny musik (festival for new music). There were concerts held at regular venues, jazz clubs, concert halls, at bars and on tugboats in the Gothenburg harbor. One of the focuses for this festival was to display the creative process and to question rigid structures. It was also about creating new constellations where noted and improvised music could meet.
