SOLA Festival 2017

Hosted by SOLA Festival and WHS Teatteri Union

SOLA is an annual festival for experimental music and film. The third iteration of the festival offers a selection of adventurous music and the films of the Scottish filmmaker, 2012 Turner prize nominee, Luke Fowler. The first day of SOLA features different viewpoints on the versatile modular synthesizer. Jonas Broberg, Mesak and Tsembla all have their own way of using the instrument. Also on Friday, Fowler’s documentary of Martin Bartlett offers a poetic take on a relatively unknown Canadian composer, who pioneered the use of computer in music.

On the second day the improvised, explosive free jazz of Doglife meets the hazy beats and outsider rap of Draama-Helmi. The second programming of Fowler’s films, the film cycle ‘A Grammar for Listening’, investigates the meaningful dialogue between looking and listening.

The festival is organized by the non-profit association V�lirivi ry in collaboration with WHS Teatteri Union.
