RedSonic is an annual festival dedicated to exhibiting sound as an artistic medium and encouraging an active listening experience. The ten-day festival includes live performances, exhibitions, presentations, workshops and lectures by major artists and acknowledged practitioners in the field of sound.

RedSonic Zero Edition (January, 2012) presented outstanding international artists including Michel Chion, Jonty Harrison, David Toop and A Guy Called Gerald. RedSonic returns to the Red Gallery for its First Edition from the 11th – 21st April 2013 bringing together an innovative program of experiments in sound.

RedSonic deals with a range of concepts dating from the early Twentieth Century onwards, including musique concrete, electronics, electro-acoustic, acousmatic, ambient, soundscape composition, sound-poetry and phonography. The programme contains artists from around the globe in order to represent the many varied forms of artistic expression, which use sound as a central element. The festival embraces new technologies, appropriated through ideas such as acoustic ecology and acoustics studies, and theories on the complex nature of listening itself. These ideas are demonstrated by artists, performers, cross-over creators, inventors and lecturers, through discussions about their practice and the sharing of ideas, as well as through performance.

Ultimately, sound and the listening experience, central to all these practices, requires dedicated attention. To address this, RedSonic uses a high-quality multi-channel diffusion sound system so as to provide the best possible platform for the expression and appreciation of sound. Dynamic range and sonic detail are brought into sharp focus in this multi-layered sonic system.

RedSonic is a project devised by Gergely Konrády and Aquiles Pantaleão in collaboration with the Red Gallery, London.
