O•zvočenje Festival
updated 27 hours ago
The music festival O•zvočenje was founded in 2002 by the legendary Slovenian experimental group SAETA, a collective that's been exploring new musical terrains since 1977. The festival takes place at the Bežigrad Gallery, which is also its main producer.
The set-up of the festival is pretty straightforward. For 3 consecutive nights in April, 3 different groups or soloists are invited to present their current musical striving. The programming is prepared irrespective of genres, with electro-acoustic, electronic and acoustic music (as well as musique concrète) being equally present. However, experimental and unconventional forms are preferred. One night is usually reserved for SAETA, who often invite temporary new members to join them.

Adela International Festival of Generative Arts
updated 29 hours ago
Adela is an international festival founded in 2023 by Ljudmila Art and Science Laboratory, dedicated to exploring practices emerging in the expanded field of generative arts. It considers artworks as algorithms embedded in (im)material infrastructures and observes them as emergent machines and open systems in which human and other agents participate in producing possible worlds. From this perspective, it aims to establish transformative practices and aesthetics to counter prevailing techno-cultural trends.
The festival features discussions and workshops, Parameter Fair, dedicated to presenting and selling works that imaginatively engage generative methods, and Algorave, an evening of experimental live-coded music and visuals.
