Faster Than sound is a sound experiment joining the dots between musical
genres and digital art forms. Following its first step in June 2006, FTS
returns to the cold war environment of Bentwaters airbase for more
explorations with sound.. Artists from various backgrounds will collaborate
and explore the worlds of electronic music genres, contemporary classical practice and interactive visual arts. A range of immersive installations, musical collaborations, a wireless walk in the woods, illuminated cold war buildings and a large dome filled with inspiring sounds will make this a day
you wont forget for a long time. Allow yourself to be taken somewhere
you've never been before to experience the unexpected.

Since its inception in 1948, the Aldeburgh Festival has been recognised as at the forefront of contemporary music, providing an international platform for both new music and new artistic ideas.
The addition of Faster than Sound to the festival programme is a further example of this commitment, and of Aldeburghs ability not only to commission new work but to use its unique setting to present it in a different light. The Festival has always used a wide range of Suffolk venues, the latest being Bentwaters Airbase, which is close the Snape Maltings Concert Hall, the Festival's main venue.
The kaleidoscope of musical connections taking place at Aldeburgh continue throughout the year and is also evident for example through initiatives such as the Aldeburgh Residencies, and the Britten-Pears Young Artist Programme, all taking place in the inspiring landscape of the Suffolk Coast
Faster than Sound is generously support by Arts Council England, and is produced in association with Lumin and sponsored by The Wire magazine.
