Between 2019 EASTN-DC international festival, Royal College of Music in Stockholm (KMH).
New electroacoustic musics in the KMH immersive sound system
Six intense days with 8 concerts, installations, 5 lectures sessions, 3 workshops and 4 exhibitions.

The focus on digital creativity, artistic research, spatialisation and artificial intelligence opened up for experimental explorations and unexpected connections.

Researchers, musicians, composers and artists, both international and Swedish, gathered together with students from KMH to present a festival of art, science and technology.

Over fifty newly composed works with musicians, electronics and projections have been performed in the concert halls.

The music sounded from the foyer balconies as well as outside in KMH’s courtyard, spatialised for multiple loudspeakers in immersive sound systems.

The festival Between 2019 is produced as part of the EU project European Art Science Technology Network for Digital Creativity (EASTN-DC), a network with seventeen partners in Europe, USA, Canada and Brazil supported by the Culture Program of the European Union 2017-2021.
