genres and digital art forms. Following its first step in June 2006, FTS<BR>

A range of immersive installations, musical collaborations, a wireless walk in the woods, illuminated cold war buildings and a large dome filled with inspiring sounds will make this a day<BR>

Since its inception in 1948, the Aldeburgh Festival has been recognised as at the forefront of contemporary music, providing an international platform for both new music and new artistic ideas. <BR>
The addition of Faster than Sound to the festival programme is a further example of this commitment, and of Aldeburghs ability not only to commission new work but to use its unique setting to present it in a different light. The Festival has always used a wide range of Suffolk venues, the latest being Bentwaters Airbase, which is close the Snape Maltings Concert Hall, the Festival's main venue.<BR>
<BR>
The kaleidoscope of musical connections taking place at Aldeburgh continue throughout the year and is also evident for example through initiatives such as the Aldeburgh Residencies, and the Britten-Pears Young Artist Programme, all taking place in the inspiring landscape of the Suffolk Coast<BR>
<BR>
Faster than Sound is generously support by Arts Council England, and is produced in association with Lumin and sponsored by The Wire magazine.<BR>
