SONARSOUND NY TAKES PLACE MAY 12TH 2009 AT THE BARYSHNIKOV ARTS CENTER IN NEW YORK
FREE TO THE PUBLIC – RESERVATIONS REQUIRED
Sónar is heading to the United States for the first time with a debut event in New York on May 12th, thanks to its collaboration with the Institut Ramon Llull. Featuring a day of special concerts and performances at the Baryshnikov Arts Center (BAC), SonarSound NY will showcase the best of Catalan and American artists, combining multimedia art ideas with experimental electronica and the latest generation of pop culture.
Sónar is the premiere electronic music and multimedia art festival held in the heart of Barcelona for three days every June. Last year, more than 80 thousand people enjoyed a musical line-up that combined major names in today’s electronic music scene with a strong focus on experimental programming. Sónar is a meeting point for fans from all over the world eager for new ideas and for professionals, who find that the festival atmosphere is the ideal place to display their products and make contacts.
The SonarSound NY bill includes installations by Marcel·là Antúnez and ReacTable, featuring Ikue Mori; the mysterious ambient of Balago; the soundtrack, performed live, by Ãrbol and Fibla for a film by Taiwan’s Tsai Ming-Liang; the extravagant pop of Hidrogenesse; hip-hop in a trio format with the Del Palo Soundsystem; two sets by the Barcelona dj d.a.r.y.l.; the highly unconventional rhythm of the Americans (both ex-residents of Barcelona) DJ/Rupture and Prefuse 73; and visuals by No-Domain.
