Audiograft Festival of Sound Art and Experimental Music
Audiograft is an annual festival of contemporary experimental music and sound art curated by the Sonic Art Research Unit (SARU) at Oxford Brookes University.
The festival aims to engage the widest possible audience from Oxford and beyond with the challenging contemporary practices that are the focus of the Research Unit. 2016 sees Audiograft return with its annual mix of performances, exhibitions and events . This year’s festival opens your ears and eyes to extraordinary sounds and radical music, with aeolian devices, rotating sounds, otherworldly pods emitting curious frequencies and the astonishing sight and sound of speaker swinging. The events take place at venues across Oxford even including the oldest purpose built concert hall in Europe, the Holywell Music Room.
At the heart of the festival this year are sound works by Max Eastley, Ray Lee and Mike Blow; and performances by Gordon Monohan, experimental Baroque ensemble Trio Aporia, violinist Darragh Morgan and sound makers Patrick Farmer, David Lacey, John Macedo, Anne F Jacques, Billy Roisz and Arnaud Riviere.
Audiograft festival engages its audiences through performances and exhibitions and through audioHEARth events including Sonic Bingo, the Sound Art Pub Quiz and events for all the family.
