September
9–11 the Barcelona-based experimental music festival Sónar will present a
three-day festival, created especially for Chicago.
The
objective is to bring the philosophy of the Barcelona festival to Chicago, with
all the features that have made Sónar an international touchstone: with an
ambitious and high quality line-up featuring plenty of electronic
experimentation and its derivations and unusual venues of the highest calibre,
in this case the Jay Pritzker Pavilion – designed by Frank Ghery – in the
popular Millennium Park (the 9th of September) and the famous Chicago Cultural
Center (the 10th and 11th of September).

Featured Review from TimeOutChicago
September 09, 2010Currently one of techno’s most formidable minds, Marcel Dettmann is a perfect fit to send Sónar clicking and thumping into the ether. Embodying much of what techno has come to stand for, Dettmann’s productions exude a meditative minimalism that seems deceptively inappropriate for the club.

Featured Review from TimeOutChicago
September 01, 2010Rhys Chatham came to notice in the ’70s, swimming in the same downtown Manhattan scene that spit out Sonic Youth. Best remembered for droning, minimal masterpieces like “Guitar Trio” and “Die Donnergötter,” the classically trained New Yorker inspired Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo and countless other noisemongers. When his adopted hometown of Paris commissioned him to write a piece for 400 guitars in 2005, Chatham gamely whipped up A Crimson Grail. Inside the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, the composition was performed by just 125 guitars, yet it was anything but a compromise. more at chicago.timeout.com
