Programme

Synopsis: S.A.T is a project dedicated to creativity, culture and technology. It is a collaborative international artistic project to be launched in India. At a time in the history of the arts where digital technology has revolutionized distribution, democratized access, and re-imagined the scope and scale with which an artist can create a vision and reach an audience, S.A.T is a new kind of arts and culture channel for a new kind of world.

The series will begin with a collection of specially choreographed music performances, curated artworks, panel discussions and live performances from artists/ academics/ curators from across the world. The Festival will work on integrating lesser-known musical traditions into the project. SAT is viewed as an important intervention in this direction. SAT will evolve an interdisciplinary framework for the creative interaction of artists with professionals from various fields.

Swiss musician Don Li 
Don Li is undoubtedly one of the visionary heads of the contemporary scene in music composition in Switzerland. His minimalism makes Li’s work fascinating, a trend that has been inspiring for numerous other musicians.

The phenomenon Orbital Garden is a synthesis of the arts. In business one talks of Corporate Identity, a brand name and a uniform product line. Here it simply has to do with a synthesis of the arts. At the centre of which stands Orbital Garden, initiated and developed by alto-saxophonist, clarinetist, composer, bandleader and organizer Don Li, a concept of musical reduction that correlates its impact to the sophisticated, exhaustive dialect between repetition and variation. In this synthesis of the arts, it reaches beyond the pure musical dimension and encompasses social, organizational and, not least, aesthetic facets.
