If you could listen in to dark matter, just what would it sound like?

A contemporary music festival in Plymouth plans to shed light on this mysterious substance as well as exploring the frontiers of musical imagination

From motion-tracked musicians to interactive sound installations, the Peninsula Arts Contemporary Music Festival is all about blending the sonic with tech.

Kicking off on 26 February and hosted at Plymouth University, the festival will feature innovations in the way we make music, all under the banner of "Frontiers: expanding musical imagination". "This festival was originally created to showcase the research we developed in the university," says Eduardo Reck Miranda, professor of computer music, who with co-director Simon Ible launched the inaugural festival more than a decade ago.
