Netaudio'08: The Offline Festival for Online Music October 22, 2008

Netaudio'08 is London's foremost festival dedicated to the sounds of the Internet.

Netaudio'08 celebrates the creative output of networked musicians and online communities with talks, workshops, showcases and performances.

Netaudio’08 will play host to a broad range of live musical acts all the way from well established musicians through to undiscovered new talent – the only criteria is that they sound good and that they engage via the medium of the Internet. Musically Netaudio’08 will provide a programme spanning genres and cultural boundaries and embracing the widest possible selection of sounds humming through the Internet.
