Savana #Mash è una due-giorni curata dalla rassegna artistica S/V/N/ di concerti, performance dal vivo, djset, screening e incontri sulle sonorità “global”, in particolare quelle elettroniche prodotte nel cosiddetto Sud del Mondo. In avanzata fase post-coloniale, la Rete permette ai suoni e ai musicisti di muoversi ed espandersi travalicando continuamente i confini. In un panorama frammentato, sovrapposto e in parte caotico, il concetto di bordo si attenua. Savana #Mash si colloca in questo instabile interstizio e da lì osserva il globo, portando a Milano un’accurata selezione di voci inedite ma rappresentative di una scena in espansione.

Savana #Mash is a 2-day event with concerts, live performances, DJ sets, screenings, and meetings about “global” sound. The festival is organised by the artistic programme S/V/N/ to investigate music, especially electronic, produced in the so-called South of the World. In an advanced post-colonial phase, the Internet allows both sounds and musicians to expand continually, moving beyond boundaries. In a landscape so fragmented, overlapping and partly chaotic, the concept of boarders fades away. Savana #Mash is ranked inside of this unstable gap and from there observes the entire globe, leading a careful selection of unedited voices, yet still representative of a widening scene to Milan.
