Electronic music festival coming to U
The fourth annual Spark Festival of Electronic Music and Art will be coming to the University of Minnesota from February 22 through 26. The festival will feature an eclectic mix of electronic art and music performances and be free and open to all.
Notable artists at this year’s festival will include scholar and electronic composer Alvin Lucier, British artist and DJ Scanner (Robin Rimbaud), local electronic outfit Electropolis, and many others. Events will be taking place throughout the course of each day ranging in focus from concerts to seminars and academic paper presentations during the daytime and ending with an exploration of the electronic club scene going into the late hours of the night.
The event to kick off the festival will be a live performance from Electropolis playing “Man with a Movie Camera” at the Coffman Memorial Union, The Whole. The combination live-concert/cult film classic will be on February 21 at 8:00 p.m.
