From Hanoi Sound Stuff Festival:
Hanoi Sound Stuff Festival 2012 marks the fifth time the event will take place. This year’s festival is packed with an assorted mix of International and Vietnamese artists and new collaborations and activities with the aim to reach an even broader range of audiences and music students to join electronic and experimental performances and events. The Festival will support disadvantaged and disabled children’s development.
In 2012, the Hanoi Sound Stuff Festival will support the Morning Star Centre (MSC) a school for disabled children. The MSC is a non-governmental and non-profit organization for children with mental disabilities founded in 1995. The MSC helps its disabled students to lead a better life and teach their parents how to take better care of their children. Since the government does not support children with these disabilities, their parents or non-governmental organizations have to pay for their school fees. The Hanoi Sound Stuff Festival will support the MSC by raising funds to cover the school fees for poor and disabled children to attend the MSC, and by giving the students new experiences with music by organizing a ‘music afternoon’ in the centre with Danish artist Michael Moller and inviting some of the students to participate in the performance in April 13. More info: Morningstarcenter.net
The two main festival events are organised on April 13 and 14 in Hanoi. Day 1 (April 13) is a sit-down electronic event with a mix of Japanese, Danish, and Vietnamese artists organised in the courtyard of the Museum of History. The April 13 event will also include a fundraising for challenged and disabled children’s. Day 2 (April 14) is a DJ dance event with artists from Germany, England, Austrian and Vietnam and with Hanoi Future Shorts and The Onion Cellar showing a set of new short films.
In 2012, Hanoi Sound Stuff Festival will for the first time collaborate with Hue Festival, which has invited a number of the International and Vietnamese artists to perform in Hue on April 10. This year, Hanoi Sound Stuff Festival will also organise a number of master classes for musicians and music students in both Hanoi and Hue. The master classes will be taught by the International artists and will be organised in collaboration with Hanoi Cultural University in Hanoi and New Art Space in Hue. Hanoi Sound Stuff Festival will collaborate with Hanoi Grapevine to organise the first ever Art Talk event in Hanoi. This will is an opportunity for interested audiences to hear and talk with German, Austrian, and Vietnamese artists about their experiences as experimental and electronic artists.

The Festival’s History
Tri Minh, electronic artist and event organiser, founded and organised the Hanoi Sound Stuff Festival in 2008 making it the first electronic artistic exchange music festival organised in Vietnam.
In 2009, 2010, and 2011 the Hanoi Sound Stuff Festival continued to push the boundaries for electronic and experimental music performances in Vietnam by presenting creative cross-border collaborations between International and Vietnamese musicians and by adding visual artists and installations to the mix. In 2010 and 2011, the Festival expanded its duration from a 1-day to a 2-day programme. In 2011, Future Shorts Hanoi, a worldwide short film festival concept, joined the festival. Future Shorts Hanoi provided the festival guests with an opportunity of viewing interesting short films throughout the festival. In 2011, 13 International artists and 8 Vietnamese artists and around 3000 audiences took part in the 2-day festival.
