Soundtracks Schwaz

The Festival Klangspuren Schwaz 2025 focuses on the relationship between humans and technology and invites us to explore our emotional approach to digital innovations in a new way. Even 1000 years ago, the bronze talking head of the inventive Pope Silvester II is said to have fascinated people on the one hand, but also worried them on the other. In modern times, people turned to the precise measurement of the world. This not only satisfied a need for control over nature, but also elevated the cool mind above heated emotions. In today's debates about the influence of digital technology and artificial intelligence, old fears of losing control are flaring up again: Will we still need musicians in the near future? Will there still be concerts?

Klangspuren Schwaz aims to counter this with curiosity and openness, a critical but above all playful attitude. The festival aims to show how artists creatively address these questions. Instead of technical perfection, it is primarily about the expansion of artistic forms of expression and the courage to move confidently in a technologized world.
