¡Mola mazo!
NEON loves Madrid and Madrid loves NEON, we can say that because this amazing city loves everyone, Madrilleno or not. We may have this view because circa 2003 more time was spent hopping from club to club than strolling around the Retiro or marvelling art at the Prado, pues nada, the place rocks. A recent office debate decided that it was cheaper to leave London for the weekend than stay in it. I cannot think of a better weekend jaunt than Madrid and the perfect excuse would be for Hypersounds.
Hypersounds is a series of concerts, performances, installations and panels by artists based around sonic investigation, featuring experiments with “creative possibilities of sound and its various spatial, emotional and aesthetic interactions”.
The event will take place simultaneously over the 13th and 14th of November in five unique spaces in the two buildings of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía.
There are 20 planned activities – highlights include live performances by Various Production, Umfeld, Tender Forever and Shit & Shine, sessions by Spanish and international DJs and two sonic installations by the Dutch artist Edwin van der Heide.
The line-up also includes the Spanish premiere of ‘Amplified Gesture’, a documentary part of the latest David Sylvian release ‘Manafon’.
Easyjet flights from Luton (£70 return) + double room in the cool De Las Letras hotel right on the Gran Via (from £75) = weekend spend £220. Did we mention entry to absolutely everything at Hypersounds is completely free?
Adios amigos!
