European Sound Delta
European Sound Delta is a mobile project on the Danube and Rhine rivers focusing on radio and media art using the sounds of European cities.
Two teams will be traveling both rivers this summer; recording sounds, producing live performances, and broadcasting radio featuring sound artists. The project involved eleven different countries, and Rotterdam was the fourth stop of the European Sound Delta traveling festival. The stop in Rotterdam featured the following two-day program:
Friday 8 August 2008: Live Shows
Joachim Montessuis (F) - Tamara Albaitis (US) - Sillyconducttor (RO) - Kevin Logan (UK) - Aymeric de Tapol (F);

Saturday 9 August 2008: LE PLACARD festival
Headphone concerts for headphoned people.
LE PLACARD is a headphone concert festival that deals with concentration, intimacy, time warp, and teleportation. As part of the European Sound Delta project, over a hundred of these Le Placard festivals will take place in different cities, always for the duration of 24h or more. Le Placard is an open program, providing headphone spaces open for any performer that would like to perform in the programme. Interested performers should register online on forehand, using the project website. Rhine-Danube Placards consist of series of 30 minutes performances, open to the participation of local musical acts.
