"During the festival, I try to visit as many locations, performances, and talks as possible to soak up the atmosphere everywhere. But with over 200 performances and 100 speakers, it is unfortunately impossible to attend everything. However, I would definitely like to share these 10 tips with you; I will certainly be going to these myself."

The Art of Listening - Imaginary Soundtracks
"I've known Mark for a long time, he's a brilliant designer but also has a very fine taste for music. He has chosen three themes and movies for which he will create a new soundtrack, live, played from vinyl with soundbites from the movies. A very special experience."
