Festival MED takes as its starting point the contemporary electro-acoustic
music, which originates from the European avant-gardes of the 20th
century, particularly the dodecaphonic music. The music of the second half
of the 20th century destructuralized and analyzed, then connected and
synthesized forms, the acoustic and the electronic into electro-acoustic
music. With the development of electronic instruments in the second half
of the 1960’s the electronic music was emancipated as an independent form
of musical expression.
MED is open to different ways of creation and is intended as the deepening
of the interaction between different production media. The festival
focuses on a genre-wise least burdened and limited approach to the
creation of electronic or electro-acoustic music, among other things
because it aims to reach the widest possible circle of audience, through
which it strives to make an inspirational contribution to the
proliferation of production and the consuming of such music within this
geographical region.
One of the MED 2012 festival’s mottos is avoiding an exaggeratedly
“fair-like” image of events, which is unfortunately the symptom of many of
today’s festivals. At the same time its mission is to satisfy the public
that is especially drawn by the neuralgic points of musical creation. MED
therefore seeks to become, in the long run, one of the electronic
destinations on the map of music gourmets.
The festival program will include, apart from the musical performances, a
round-table discussion on the subject of the importance of individual
boldness in the field of (electronic or electro-acoustic) music, with a
tribute to the recently deceased Mario Marzidovšek, in the past extremely
active, but on our soil unfortunately rather unknown creator from the
North-eastern region.
