Faster than Sound... A festival on the airbase in Rendlesham Forest which is the area of the most UFO sightings in the UK.
For a one day only the Airbase where Spacecadets were filmed and the Rendlesham UFO sighting took place will be open to the public.
Faster Than sound is a sound experiment joining the dots between musical genres and digital art forms.
The Festival will provide public access to the previous inaccessible Bentwaters Airbase.
Come and join us in a celebration of light and sound across the cold war buildings of the space.

Faster Than sound is a sound experiment joining the dots between musical
genres and digital art forms. Following its first step in June 2006, FTS
returns to the cold war environment of Bentwaters airbase for more
explorations with sound.. Artists from various backgrounds will collaborate
and explore the worlds of electronic music genres, contemporary classical
practice and interactive visual arts. A range of immersive installations,
musical collaborations, a wireless walk in the woods, illuminated cold war
buildings and a large dome filled with inspiring sounds will make this a day
you won’t forget for a long time. Allow yourself to be taken somewhere
you've never been before to experience the unexpected.
Since its inception in 1948, the Aldeburgh Festival has been recognised as at the forefront of contemporary music, providing an international platform for both new music and new artistic ideas.
The addition of Faster than Sound to the festival programme is a further example of this commitment, and of Aldeburgh’s ability not only to commission new work but to use its unique setting to present it in a different light. The Festival has always used a wide range of Suffolk venues, the latest being Bentwaters Airbase, which is close the Snape Maltings Concert Hall, the Festival's main venue.
The kaleidoscope of musical connections taking place at Aldeburgh continue throughout the year and is also evident for example through initiatives such as the Aldeburgh Residencies, and the Britten-Pears Young Artist Programme, all taking place in the inspiring landscape of the Suffolk Coast
Faster than Sound is generously support by Arts Council England, and is produced in association with Lumin and sponsored by The Wire magazine.
Tickets are £17.50 in advance £20 on door
