<p><em>Sorry if this is a little off topic...</em></p> <p><strong>Does anyone in the UK know of or attend any Sonic Art and/or Electronic music festivals?<br> I've heard of a few myself but am looking to experience more.</strong></p> <p>I know it's slightly off topic, however for me personally I always find sonic art and electronic music (<em>leaning more towards IDM, Glitch etc.</em>) greatly influences and inspires my sound design - This is particularly the case with my latest project utilising a merger of the two and sound design, which compliment the piece well.</p> <p>I thought it would be of interest to a number of people so I'll update this post as I find more festivals/performances etc. It would be cool to hear about live laptop ensembles as well. Also, I don't know if people would prefer for it to be a community wiki page? Just let me know and I'll change it :)</p> <p>I've asked a related question before if you're interested: <a href="http://socialsounddesign.com/questions/9328/music-makers-do-you-find-your-sound-design-skills-influence-your-compositions" rel="nofollow">http://socialsounddesign.com/questions/9328/music-makers-do-you-find-your-sound-design-skills-influence-your-compositions</a> <br><br><br> <strong>LIST OF UK FESTIVALS:</strong> - <em>in progress</em></p> <p>Sound Art / Experimental Electronic Music - <a href="http://www.audiograft.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.audiograft.com/</a><br> Experimental Electronic Music / Workshops / Installations - <a href="http://www.beamfestival.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.beamfestival.com/</a><br> Sonic Art / Experimental Electronic Music / Lectures / Installations - <a href="http://noisefloor.co.uk" rel="nofollow">http://noisefloor.co.uk</a><br><br> Electronic Music - <a href="http://www.blocweekend.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.blocweekend.com/</a><br></p>

<p>Two off the top of my head: Beam Festival, at Brunel University (http://www.beamfestival.com/), and AudioGraft, in Oxford (http://www.audiograft.com/). I used to know someone who ran an electronica/sound-art festival called 'Sonic boom' in Coventry, but I don't think that's still going on. </p>
