Dreamscape Festival is a one-of-a-kind music and art festival that combines electronic music and visual art. Much of it is experimental, and those who attend are welcome and encouraged to take part in workshops offered at the festival. This year’s event takes place 13–15 March in Tallinn’s Paavli Culture Factory, at Paavli 7 in Northern Tallinn.

The self-described “exploratory music and media festival” is more than a traditional concert series. Through the intersection of music, installation art, and technology, Dreamscape creates an immersive environment of experimentation. Over the course of three days, the festival will feature two club nights lasting well into the late morning, a third night of live music, and workshops Saturday afternoon.

There will be live performances from artists from the UK, Germany, Italy, the US, Denmark, Latvia, Finland, and of course Estonia. Of note will be a performance Saturday night by Estonian folk violinist and star, Maarja Nuut. The art installations will be open at various times throughout the festival, and the workshops will mostly focus on music production, as well as creative practise. One of the workshops will even be run by Mike Paradinas, better known by his stage name μ-Ziq, pronounced like “music”. Paradinas is widely regarded as a pioneer of “intelligent dance music”, or IDM. He will also perform at the opening night of the festival.

More information is available on the Facebook event page, and tickets are available here.
