Musical Utopias #5 – voices and machines

Ensemble Klang’s festival of Musical Utopias returns to the Korzo, live for the first time in two years! The festival foregrounds artists striving for a better world, striving for the just-out-of-reach, and looking to the future with optimism.

The 2023 edition focuses on Voices & Machines: human-like computer voices, computer-like human voices, text-to-speech-to-song, self-optimisation, modesty and monumentality, the destruction of the self, development and transience, the superiority of nature, performer-less performances and also performer-packed performances overflowing with pure sheer abundance.
