Planet Tree Music Festival: Pataphysical Transmission

Presenting a programme of both popular contemporary music and world premiere pieces, Planet Tree Music Festival offers listeners a new experience for the enjoyment of classical music in North London. Championing an alternate way of listening, audiences are actively encouraged to lie down and experience the sound worlds in a new way. The stuffy, outdated rules found in traditional concert halls are truly thrown out the window, instead a more accessible experience is offered as a stepping stone to musical enjoyment. The festival’s founder, Lawrence Ball, believes there is a high link between the music that he has programmed and the levels of meditation to be experienced by listening to it. The ninth festival presents an array of world premieres, performed by professional musicians from across the UK and Europe.

Andres Saenz De Sicilia, Matthew Linares & Camilo Tirado form an Ambisonic Composers’ Collective Surround sound concert relay. An experimental sound and music project that explores the boundaries of listening and performance as well as the unique aspects of different acoustic spaces.
