Among roads, ghosts and diversification of spaces, the new edition of the classic festival presented two main developments, the parallel edition held in La Coruna and the extension of paragraph SonarKids.
No certainly after the success of last year which saw the commitment of the organizers of the festival by creating a section for children in the house, this year they decided to extend the offer to two days a week to hasten the diversification of activities. Different activities focused on promoting creativity of children, such as textiles or dance workshops, joined the now familiar sound sessions tailored for the occasion. Let more than one would feel like to procreate or be re Niñ @ in order to have an excuse to attend weight.
is also no doubt that the realization of the festival in a second parallel to the original city of Barcelona is in the usual line Festival to bring in smaller-format editions, the festival around the world. On this occasion as an excuse Holy Year, the festival approached Galician lands, namely La Coruna, where they enjoy the well-known event, without having to cross the country. Know at present the Galician editing assistance, I do not think that was bad considering that it exceeded the number of visitors last year in the Catalan edition, more than 84000 people. Who said crisis? I propose that the festival directors as candidates for the next election. They do know what they want the young (and not so young) Europeans!
Finally, go by subject. Like every year, not having to pay the exorbitant amount of fertilizer, almost complete (the parallel activities are not included), for a server always takes advantage of the extensive information that the organization puts in advance in order to select the route. Again, some tickets were sold before the start of the event, in this case, the day shift on Saturday.
not hesitate to spend the Teatre Grec to enjoy the new work of Ryoji Ikeda. Great expectations had risen Spectra presentation, a large lighting installation, 67 outbreaks nothing more and nothing less, they were making a hole in the sky Barcelona as evening was falling. Was curious to see this process while people were walking through the lights. A curious spectacle in which we placed greater expectations of what eventually turned out to be. Fortunately, the Japanese artist at the event included a double session called Test audiovisual pattern. Impressive as always, from the first few seconds caught the attention of the public who congregated in the gardens of the Teatre Grec, with a dry sound sequence, and call it that, at times, nullifying any vibration in the air, no doubt, never my sense of hearing had caught anything like it before. Great. A succession image only black and white sounds extremely simple, completely synchronized are the basis of his speech. Less experimental and noisy than the previous visit to Sonar, Test pattern is closer to the festival most common sounds, rhythm and progression appreciate some sound not so deconstructed as usual in their work. All unique audiovisual experience, with incredible beam of light across the sky, a new edition of Sonar was to begin.
The next day we appeared after midday at the CCCB, a stunning space for the development of this activity, unfortunately for the neighbors. No doubt it was soon, and when few people Perfect to shop around the trade show and exhibition (Back to) The Robots of paragraph Sonarmática.
this year regained the demos of the different brands presenting new products. Small demonstration performances and workshops specific to certain tools are a good alternative before the overdose of sound that we expected.
First stop on the SonarComplex. Few people to see the sound produced by Phill Niblock (U.S.) on the images recorded by countryman Carlos Casas poblablos one of the highest in the land. Evocative landscapes and austere sounds that would have been repeated throughout the day.

A unique sound in all the actions are the dominant tone of the festival, unfortunately thing is unusual, but it certainly is at the height of one of the most important events of this format in the world, not to say that alone. Until next year.
