With this the festival wished to address the need for physical presence and spatiality and how this is often vital in order to achieve a truly moving interpretation and for the audience to obtain a sense of connection in the meeting with other people. The theme revolved around music in the physical room, around the actual physical experience and about sharing this experience with other human beings. The festival consisted of a series of concerts with duos, solo performances and video art installations.
The festival was held at Atalante in Gothenburg on October 15 and in Trollhättan on October 16-17. Musically the festival hosted three world premieres, electro acoustic sound scapes, installations, improvised music, drone, contemporary music and more.
