Between 1-3 August we are welcoming you to Timisoara City Celebration, we brings to the Civic Park a world of sounds that don’t obey the rules – only curiosity.
Dutch artist Toktek is coming with a show where improvisation and sound collide in a lively and unexpected performance and Sillyconductor proposes two interactive workshops for children’s where they can explore the boundaries of music, technology and their own creativity.

Over the years, toktek has mastered the art of sampling anything that makes sound. Nothing is more entertaining than watching toktek build up his palette of sounds from random musical objects and then blissfully play them on his controller is unlike any other musical experience. He is a modern-day Robinson Crusoe, enjoying his life as a castaway in a wonderland of electronic music.

On August 2 and 3, the SGOMOT team and their menagerie of gadgets will be back in Timisoara to hold an anniversary workshop on sound and the shapes it can take, with new activities including crazy software, space objects, sounds, doodles and flowerpots.
SGOMOT is a portable sound laboratory set up 10 years ago by Sillyconductor, a sound artist from Bucharest, which consists of a system of instruments, sensors and interactive devices designed to familiarize children with unusual forms of musical creation starting from different principles of physics and bioacoustics and reaching, invariably, the most futuristic sound.
* The workshop is aimed at young people aged 8-14 years.
* Participation is free, but you must register here (10 places available)
Sillyconductor is one of the pseudonyms of Cătălin Matei, a Romanian sound designer from Bucharest. His main concern is sound and its relationship with science or mathematics, building interactive instruments or installations that explore and at the same time sound, technology and the environment. In recent years his attention has focused on bio-linguistic installations and sonification of inaudible phenomena, from archaeological sites to jars of algae.
Programme financed by the Municipality of Timișoara, coordinated and organized by the Center for Projects and the House of Culture.
