The Wire - On Location (Issue 404)
“Sanatorium of Sound has given hundreds of experimental sound art devotees reason to ascend to a small, mysterious Polish village, nestled only a short distance from the Czech border. The annual event is housed in and around a mystical 19th-century sanatorium, where the first international treatment centre for tuberculosis was founded by Dr Hermann Brehmer in 1855”

“Just a fabulous few days overall–great people, some wonderful music, a super-beautiful place.”
Just Out Side
“The program of 2017 edition rests on a few masts, and the clutter of ladders, sails and ropes spread between them presents the experienced audience with the most breakneck transitions and knots”.
Jan Topolski
"Festiwal Sanatorium Dźwięku, organizowany w Sokołowsku przez Zuzannę Fogtt i Gerarda Lebika, to jedna z najważniejszych w Polsce inicjatyw popularyzujących eksperymentalną twórczość muzyczną."

Info

Sanatorium of Sound is a festival focused on experimental music and broadly understood sound and sonic art. His main objective is to present the widest possible spectrum of the phenomena related to the development of musical forms in the 20th and 21st century, maintaining the balance between the traditions of experimental music of the past few decades and the new, still structureless tendencies. So far the festival presented realizations of about 200 artists from all over the world. The festival is directed by Gerard Lebik and Zuzanna Fogtt and held in Sokolowsko-spa village in the mountains on the Czech-Polish border.
