ROBOT13

ROBOT, the international festival of electronic music and digital arts from 5 to 8 October in Bologna celebrates contemporaneity in a multiplicity of environments in which a lively diversity of sound is reflected: DumBO, Palazzo Re Enzo, the Accademia delle Belle Arti, the Oratorio di San Filippo Neri and TPO.
The programme once again opens up to international experiences, proposing, alongside names that have already become 'classics' in the relationship between music and technology, many musicians coming directly from the more underground and experimental scene. They range from the absolute protagonists of the most radical research (Ben Frost, Skee Mask, Zenker Brothers) or the most ethereal (Caterina Barbieri, Pantha Du Prince, Lyra Pramuk) to artists who define a map that goes beyond the traditional localisation of sound culture, such as the Greenlandic Courtesy, the Chilean-Norwegian Carmen Villain, the Italian Eva Geist, the English Loraine James, the Bosnian Mario Batkovic and the Danish Sofie Birch and Nana Pi. And then again: the techno cosmopolitanism of TSVI and object blue, the rigorous antagonism of Brutal Casual, the 'architectural' vision of Luce Clandestina. And, speaking of classics, the return of the legendary duo of Miss Kittin & The Hacker, who codified the techno and electro landscapes at the beginning of the new millennium.
