The UK's leading audiovisual performing arts festival is back for it's third edition, featuring a cracking line up of artists working in the fields of live cinema, VJing to AV remixing and more.

Running from: Thu 10 - Sun 13 May.

Taking place between 10th - 13th May across East London's arts centre Rich Mix and Hackney Wick's creative venue Stour Space, Splice Festival brings together over 30 international AV artists and musicians to celebrate the diverse fields of audiovisual performance.

Line-up include pioneering electronic musician Matthew Herbert with an exclusive AV commission in response to Brexit with media artist Christopher Thomas Allen (The Light Surgeons), award-winning beatboxer Reeps One presenting his Vocal Vibration and Cymatics audiovisual showcase in collaboration with visualist Zach Walker; a rare performance from genre defying record producer and DJ Leila (Warp Records); French artist Zoë McPherson presents the intense and hypnotic live audiovisual version of her new album String Figures; People Like Us (Vicki Bennett) presents her new live cinema project The Mirror; Addictive TV perform Orchestra of Samples - their audiovisual extravaganza sampling over 200 musicians filmed around the world; Graham Dunning's Mechanical Techno project creates electronic dance music live, using layered records, loops and triggered percussion.

New for 2018 is a kids and family section, headlined by Graeme Miller, one of the original composers of the acclaimed soundtrack to the 1980s Moomins TV show, performing a live re-score of the Film Polski animation Moomins and the Comet.

Other artists include Petwo Evans, Orka, L’Aubaine, Amelie Duchow, Kimatica, Loraine James, ID:Mora, Heidi Hörsturz, Benjamin Heim, Comfort Zones, Steven McInerney & Howlround, Joanne and Harmergeddon.

Throughout the weekend you will find workshops, installations, screenings and free entry talks from leading AV artists and industry experts, including Dutch AV remix pioneer Eboman and David Lublin, founder of VDMX software. And kicking-it all off on Thursday 10th is a free entry launch night, panel discussion and networking event followed by an open Audio Visual Link Jam session hosted by Crux.
