Sound Campus is a program presented in collaboration with Ars Electronica and University of Arts Linz, from September 3-5, 2024. This year’s edition Sound Campus – Sonic Fever takes the shape of a carrier bag of sounds and diverse forms of musical expression. Looking to the power of sound as catalyst and shapeshifter, it proposes a polymorphous stage for fiction, imaginary spaces, and anachronistic possibilities.
Fostering a culture of solidarity, we embrace sound works that explore alternative shared environments and shared auditory experiences. In this way, we focus on the potential of sound as a tool for challenging normative and dominant narratives, replacing them with ones of sharing, caring, and response-ability.

The electronic music of Morning Seance combines constant variation with intricate, repeating patterns that lack a clear beginning or end. This variation is not merely a change applied to a specific audio element but a fundamental compositional principle that avoids mechanical combinations and obvious rhythms. The result is a rich amalgamation of textures and harmonies that continuously evolve, taking the listener on an atmospheric journey through diverse sonic environments.
