/ Colour Out of Space Colour Out of Space is a festival of experimental music and its crossover into other artforms. Since 2006 it has played host to some of the most visionary musicians, sound artists and filmmakers of the last forty years. COOS is held in Brighton's Sallis Benney Theatre, with daytime performances, screenings, workshops, sonic pop-ups and more running throughout the city. COOS 9 is coming....soon.

Meanwhile...outside of the main performance space two new festival strands got the daytimes underway; Resonance FM's Ed Baxter launched The Free University of COOS at Phoenix Brighton– a day of talks offering a crash course in current thinking around sound, music and noise. While around town, the Sonic-Arts Trail featured site-specific wonders in Brighton landmarks including The Pepperpot (opened for the first time in a decade) with Ian Helliwell, little known folly The Tarner Tower with Alice Kemp, and London Rd’s bustling Open Market, which fell silent as Ryoko Akama's minimal, kinetic sound sculptures gathered momentum (above). Two exhibitions
ran throughout; ONCA hosted Unia Loimussa (Dreams inside
a Blaze) - the first ever UK exhibition
from visual artist, musician and all round Finnish DIY creative
lynchpin Jan Anderzen (below). In Jubilee Library,
Ian Murphy's What Was Music? featured twelve sound-collages
created by local schoolchildren using samples sent from artists
around the world. Listen to all recordings and read more from both
exhibitions here
Insights from
(nearly) all events can be found in Matt Dalby's audio
diaries. We hope to see you for COOS (9) soon! Still confused?
