With the speakers stored away and the lights turned out at\u00a0Vapaan Taiteen Tila, the\u00a0third\u00a0annual \u2014 and most successful yet \u2014 edition of \u00c4\u00e4niaalto<\/a> came to a close 10.3, Saturday evening. Running since 2016, the sound festival is produced and run by DADA, Aalto Media Lab’s student association<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The weeklong event featured talks, installations, experimental music workshops, and more than 20 performances from a wide variety of electronically-inclined artists. Everything kicked off on Monday at Aalto Studios’ Kallio Stage<\/a>, where the evening began with\u00a0A Chinese Triptych<\/em>, a fixed media piece by Juan Vazquez<\/strong>. The 6-minute long work, which is in part responsive to the audience and noise in the room, kicked off\u00a0every day of performances during\u00a0\u00c4\u00e4niaalto.<\/p>\n

On hand to support the performers were Aalto Studios’ own Kallio Stage audio-visual technician and manager, who took the burden off the student organizers and handled the live mixing and system performance.\u00a0The two days at Kallio Stage took advantage of the theatre setting to showcase\u00a0more esoteric and narrative-driven performances. Artists played self-built instruments, including some originating in an\u00a0\u00c4\u00e4niaalto workshop, or used the stage to tell personal stories in unique and complex ways.<\/p>\n
