Sound Thought is an annual festival of music and sound research, composition, and performance run by postgraduate students from the University of Glasgow. Sound Thought presents a unique opportunity for postgraduate researchers by providing them with a platform to present their research in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment alongside the work of contemporary practitioners. Sound Thought 2017 marks the 10th anniversary of the festival, having been initially established in 2007.

This year’s theme, “Labora[R]tio: Collaborate, Articulate, Integrate“, will be explored by exhibiting work contextualized by themes pertinent to the creative process exploring the intersections of music, sound, and other artistic genres.
