The 17th annual No Idea Festival brings together musicians from around the world to collaborate in the fields of free improvisation, noise, installation, composition, and sonic interventions. The artist lineup spans myriad aesthetic preferences and working methods and is held together by shared conceptual concerns of microtonality, timbre, noise, and resonance.
