The sound itinerary City Sonic in Mons has just successfully closed and Transcultures is now going to launch Sonic Cinema at Galeries (Brussels) featuring a selection of City Sonic related works bridging the moving image and the sonic experience. In Huy, you still can visit the sound installations in the framework of the Biennale for contemporary arts Dédale. In Paris, the new label Transonic initiated by Philippe Franck and Gauthier Keyaerts under the auspices of Transcultures will be presented at La Gaîté Lyrique during the Beat Bang evening (live sets) proposed by La Médiathèque in collaboration with the plateform for electronic music ElBel. We also recommend to participate to APREM#2 in Frameries, a stimulating “labophone” (performances + debates – 27 >29 September).
