The Sonic Arts Forum will be holding an event at De Montfort University Leicester on Saturday 18th of April 2026.
This is an opportunity for creative people, working with sound and technology as a significant element in their practice, to introduce their work, and receive feedback in a friendly, and supportive, environment.
Over the past 22 years our events have featured introductions from a wide spectrum of artists, musicians, technologists, and noise-makers working with improvisation, live electronics, field recordings, fixed media, audio vision, installation, algorithmic composition etc. We are an inclusive group with introducers coming from a range of backgrounds: from postal work to academia, and much inbetween.
Any queries should be addressed to corync...@gmail.com.
