Dear specimen under the shifting skies,
Our in-house Oscillation ::: The Weather gazette press is rolling once more; the annual bulletin series officially exists again as you’re reading this sentence. Because in less than 2 weeks, our aural banquet is opened, musing the weather as phenomenon, as metaphor, and as concept, linked to field recording. Tickets are still available for each day, as are festival passes; some workshops are already sold out. As in past years, we are once again touring venues the festival has never visited: BIS, Le Brass, Atelier 210, La C*******, Jean-Felix Hap Park, Marais Wiels, and an outing to the Smoorbeekvallei. For those who haven’t already: time to dive into our program and find out what this year’s artists are up to :::
