FREE TICKETS RUNNING OUT FAST!

We are organising the first ever Music Tech Fest in London on the 17-19 May, by pulling the entire music technology ecosystem under one roof - from the big guys in the music industry and media, music tech startups and apps creators, to developers, researchers, artists, performers, creatives and hackers.

Some big music industry brands and personalities have confirmed participation, together with a great crowd from creative agencies - all of whom are into music and tech big time. We are running the whole thing as a 'festival of ideas' rather than a conference, with 'synaesthesia workshops' about music discovery and 'seeing music', mixing performances and presentations, demos, installations, as well as good old tinkering. We are thinking and evolving on our feet here and we welcome experimentation and randomness by having a 3-D Music Hack Camp and a musically-hacked light sabre party on the final night.

Day 3, Saturday, will feature our dual performance/speaker stages, with the emphasis on new ways of making music. There will be performances by Carles Lòpez on the Reactable, Bruno Zamborlin on Mogees, Cassiel’s Monometamicromatic, Daniel Jones with Maelstrom, JakeOne and Alphasphere, plus demos, talks and art installations by Matt Black of Coldcut and Ninja Tune, Denzyl Feigelson, Andrew Shoben, Christian Blom, Avi Ashkenazy, Julie Freeman and Vincent Akkermans. Saturday night we will present all the results of the 3D Music Hack Camp with Warp, BBC, OpenEMI, Last.fm, Cisco and the London Music Hack Space and finish with a musically-hacked lightsabre party.
