Montreal’s MUTEK festival has distinguished itself as an international rendezvous for original and avant-garde programming. MUTEK’s programming intends to create a sonic space that can support innovation in new electronic music and digital art and strives to be diverse, with interests in both the experimental and the playful sides of digital creativity.
This year, MUTEK celebrates its twentieth anniversary with a strong line-up, as usual, of German talent. Festival favourites
