[more]sound is an exciting festival of new music in North East Scotland, driven by the passion to make new music more accessible to audiences of all ages and backgrounds. We try to avoid pigeon-holing, wanting people to experiment and discover for themselves the different types of music that are out there today, taking risks to find out what they enjoy (or don't!). We hope to create a live music experience that leaves its audience eager to explore sound in new ways. We introduce this wide range of music and sound (classical, contemporary, improvisation, traditional, popular, jazz, experimental, ambient, sound art, electro-acoustic…) through a variety of events including concerts, talks, installations, and workshops.
sound, an initiative of Woodend Arts Association in collaboration with the University of Aberdeen, operates largely as a network of local and some national organisations. The 2009 network also includes Aberdeen Art Gallery, Aberdeen Chamber Music Club, Aberdeen Performing Arts, Banchory Academy, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, citymoves, Con Anima, DanceLive, Deveron Arts, Duff House, Interesting Music Promotions, Inverurie Music, Left Bank, The Lemon Tree, Lunchbreaks at Cowdray Hall, Monymusk Arts Trust, Museum of Scottish Lighthouses, Music Nairn, Newton Dee Community, North East of Scotland Music School, Peacock Visual Arts, Portsoy Salmon Bothy, Red Note Ensemble, Strathdee Music Club, University of Aberdeen Music Prize and Woodend Music Society.
