Semibreve festival has announced a new batch of programme additions for its 15th edition.
The festival will return to its usual base of Braga in Portugal for four days of programming this October, covering music performances, installations, talks and workshops.
Among those newly added to the lineup this week are Dutch-Italian composer and sound designer Grand River, performing an extended version of the work on her new album Tuning The Wind; Manchester-based, Angolan musician Nazar performing his acclaimed new record for Hyperdub Demilitarize; and multidisciplinary artist Lyra Pramuk making a rare appearance as a DJ, where she’ll join forces with Polish artist Krzysztof Bagiński.
Elsewhere, the festival will see appearances from percussionist, sound manipulator and visual artist NAH; Lebanese multi-instrumentalist, video artist and puppeteer Yara Asmar; experimental music legend Rafael Toral; and a collaboration between Mike Paradinas (under his μ-Ziq alias) and ID:Mora. Meanwhile, Italian musician and sound designer Marta De Pascalis will present new work in collaboration with media artist Marco Ciceri.
As well as other new additions, the likes of aya (the artist behind tQ’s favourite album of the year so far), Emptyset and Actress & Suzanne Ciani were already announced back in May.
