Digital Is Dead is a three-day festival, taking place over 2 to 4 May, organised by two University Of Oxford graduate students with Martyn Harry, a member of the University’s music faculty. Branding itself a ‘festival about post-digital music practice’, it consists of a series of evening gigs taking place at Modern Art Oxford and an afternoon discussion session at Ertegun House on Oxford’s St Giles.

The schedule they’ve put together is impressive and exciting. On 2 May, they have Tim Hecker and Mountains, who are well-known through their releases on Kranky and Thrill Jockey respectively; 3 May is BJ Nilsen (who has released records on the venerable Touch Music label) and Bjarni Gunnarson (an Icelandic sound artist); 4 May will see minimal pioneers Oval supported by Ex-Easter Island Head and Simon Scott. On the afternoon of 4 May, there will be a lecture and discussion with Oval.

Tickets for the individual gigs are £11 apiece, and there is a festival pass available for £26 which will provide access to all three. The lecture/discussion is free, although they urge that booking is essential.

Check out the Digital Is Dead website for some more information, and the Facebook event page where they’ll announce tickets going on sale in early April.
