Festival-Résonance

Phi and Magnéto present
Festival Résonance

Over ten activities from September 6 to 8 focusing on radio art and podcasting

Phi et Magnéto are teaming up to present the third edition of Festival Résonance: radio art, podcast, sound creation in partnership with Radio-Canada.

In September, creativity will be heard more than ever as the public is invited to the third edition of the Festival Résonance, co-presented by Phi and the radio and podcasts creation organization Magnéto. On the program, more than 10 activities over three days featuring sound, in the presence of local and international personalities from the literary and radio communities.

An all-ears festival

Radio art and podcast in all their forms will be celebrated during the long weekend at this unique festival: “Phi is very interested in new forms of experiences and narratives that animate our spirit of discovery,” explains Phoebe Greenberg, Phi Centre’s director and founder. “By co-presenting Festival Résonance, we are pursuing a mission that is close to our hearts, namely to collaborate with artists and organizations in order to prototype new experiences for spectators. This third edition demonstrates that radio art and podcast can now count on their own festival in Quebec.”

On the program, more than 10 activities over three days featuring sound, in the presence of local and international personalities from the literary and radio communities.

According to the co-directors of the event, Alexandra B. Lefebvre and Marie-Laurence Rancourt, “Résonance is an opportunity to discover the richness of sound and radio writing that is at the origin of several current podcast experiments.” By giving life to new experiences for listeners, Résonance and Phi invite the public to discover original and unpublished documentaries and sound fictions as well as the great names of creators from this discipline that carries all possibilities.

Programming and shock waves

Often offered in the presence of their creators, the various activities of this third edition feature radio premieres, highly current interviews, group sessions around key productions, a master class, a night radio performance, a carte blanche and even a mysterious event that promises to surprise us. In short, everything has been designed to create real shock waves.
