Sonica is a festival of (electronic) music as well as sound and experimental art. In a way, it is conceived as a showcase of the annual programme produced by MoTA - Museum of Transitory Art. Its experimental nature questions exhibition and staging formats, crossing borders between art and theory, object and performance.
Sonica is an attempt to transform a classical exhibition space into a field of events, performances, workshops, and lectures. It is a temporary laboratory established on the crossing of visual art, media and sound art and research, consisting of production and research residencies, exhibitions, performances, and public interventions, with a special focus on public presentations and talks.
In the past, Sonica has presented artists like Tim Hecker, Rashad Becker, Emptyset, Marina Rosenfeld, Herman Kolgen, Ryoichi Kurokawa, Plaid, Byetone, Transforma, Herman Kolgen, Zimoun, SND, Nik Nowak, Nonotak, and many others.
Sonica Series is a concert series taking place throughout the year in different Ljubljana venues, presenting the most prolific and adventurous artists in contemporary electronic, improvised, avant-garde, electroacoustic sounds. So far the series featured the likes of Roly Porter, Valerio Tricoli, Jason Lescalleet, Helios & Hess, Lucio Capece, Rogleio Sosa & Mauricio Valdes, Giuseppe Ielasi, Zavoloka, Martin Messier, Zs, Aoki Takamasa and others. Sonica X concert series, on the other hand, is an international concert series that promotes Slovenian artists abroad. Trieste, London, Wroclaw, Venice and Baltimore were among hosting cities so far.
SONICA Classics series presents creators working on diverse crossroads between electronic music and contemporary classical music, that open new musical spaces, attract new public and introduce unexpected sounds to both classical and club venues. Artists presented so far: Hildur Guðnadóttir, Charlemagne Palestine, Jozef van Wissem, Masayoshi Fujita.
