Complementary Contradictions Festival [Riga, Latvia] (10-18 November, 2023)

[iccmr-quantum]

A festival of new sound works composed in a joint effort between composers and scientists to celebrate the centenary of Niels Bohr's Nobel Prize in Physics. Powered by SWRL, the annual festival of immersive sound and science.

SWRL is a platform for contemporary music, performed within an immersive multichannel sound environment. We foster the creation and exploration of immersive sound environments of contemporary electro-acoustic music. We commission the creation of new musical works with a close focus on the composition of spatial aspects of sound. Our vision is to create an optimal listening space for the experience of contemporary sound within an immersive environment, where sounds are free to travel in three dimensions of space, 360 degrees of position, and elevation.

This project has created a collaborative environment where music composers teamed up with quantum physics researchers to produce innovative sound works that are now ready for your listening pleasure.
