About the event:
SPECTRA is an international biennial event, which aims to promote and provide an alternative platform of expression for composers and musicians alike.
It encourages technologically based interaction between the musician (music performers, sound artists, composers), visual artists and the music aficionado while reaching out and establishing networks within the arts industry.
The festival will be used to promote and foster the innovative and creative contemporary culture through experimental and explorative techniques with technology while at the same time introducing and spreading information about the potentials of technological-science applicability within the realm of composition-performance-education in music, digital media production and creative entrepreneur sector.
