On 29 August Varna will become part of the global sound initiative THE LISTENING BIENNIAL for the second time. The event is organized by the Bulgarian experimental music label Amek Collective and the Easterndaze platform. We are looking forward to an evening in which artists from four countries will present music in its most abstract and daring forms – from ambient and drone, to noise and electroacoustic improvisation.
Our host will be the independent space for alternative music and culture TON 618 (with address Georgi Benkovski 82, the entrance is just behind the bus stop). See below for more information about the artists and The Listening Biennial.
