Rare poster of this festival held from 28 October to 10 November 1981 in different locations in Brussels: Palais des Beaux-Arts, Plan K, Ravenstein gallery and the Shell Auditorium. The 1980 edition brought together a large number of Belgian creators of electronic music. The festival was renewed for its 1981 version with an important program of performances, installations and workshops by electronic musicians and artists. Among the guests were pioneers of electronic music like John Appleton, Morton Subotnick, Donald Buchla, John Chowning and Jean-Claude Risset. The festival poster is conceived by the Belgian musician and artist Peter Beyls and shows a pixelated image of the Town Hall of Brussels and its surroundings. Beautiful trace of a now almost untraceable event that left its mark on the evolution of electronic music in Belgium.
