MOXsonic 2020 (Main Version for all, including Social Media))
This is a space to try things—to share experimental musical or artistic practices that do not necessarily fit in with the electroacoustic festival or music conference mold. I cannot wait to hear what is programmed at the next MOXsonic festival.

MOXsonic is an incredible meeting of the minds that is supportive and welcoming to all; a rarity for electronic music events. It speaks of your amazing heart, dedication to the scene, and commitment to bringing in diverse voices. You all are doing amazing things at UCM - your students did a fabulous job running sound, stage crewing, and performing/composing great pieces. I can't wait to see what is in store for next year!
