Stream Festival
This is the debut of Stream, a music festival dealing with matters of great future importance while showcasing exciting music of today. Appropriate to the festival’s setting—Linz, a UNESCO City of Media Arts—the thematic focus is on digitization and how digital technologies are bringing forth new ways of creating, distributing and listening to music. The festival program consists of several parts, each taking a different approach to the theme. What Stage, Talk and Club have in common is the interplay between the digital world, the production of music, and the reception accorded to it. Workshops will impart practical skills; talks with experts and artists will convey theoretical insights; live concerts and a jam-packed club program will showcase musical excellence.
