The new edition of the Sonic Acts festival will held in Amsterdam on 23-26 February 2012. Travelling Time is the name of the theme of this year, which is completely dedicated to the human experience of time. As in the words of the curators:
Time dictates our schedule; time gives us structure. But in fact, there is nothing so complex and ambiguous as time: the arrival the early twentieth century of the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics has tampered with our straightforward concept of time.
These technological advances have produced a gap between ‘machine time’ and ‘human time’. Art, film and music all have the ability to make abstract concepts of time tangible and comprehensible; they can all manipulate time. In art, a relationship between time and movement creates a sense of space and can identify differences and correspondences between machine time and lived time.
Sonic Acts XIV is a four-day festival of performances, lectures, exhibitions, presentations, and film screenings.

Tim Prebble is one of the most active sound professionals in the 2.0 era of Internet. Film sound designer and supervising sound editor living at Miramar, Wellington, New Zealand (the other part of the world for us, you know…), Tim created a lot of interesting web projects dedicated to the world of Sound, like the amazing blog Music of Sound.
Now it’s time for another great project: HISS and a ROAR, a new sound effects library for sound professionals. It’s the same old story in the world of social media: Tim and us are very lovely tweet-connected, so we soon discovered what was going in the air. We watched a very funny video anticipation called Vegetable Violence on the Vimeo universe and then…here we go: the exclusive interview with Tim about HISS and a ROAR, just few hours after its official launch.
