DECIBEL 2006:
International Festival of Electronic Music Performance, Arts and New Media
The 2006 Decibel Festival lineup is nearly complete and with it comes a
glimpse into what is sure to be our most ambitious festival yet. Over the
course of four days we are presenting international acts from Belgium,
Germany, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the U.K. and of
course the U.S while still keeping a focus on Pacific Northwest artists.
This year Decibel also expanded the Showcases to offer even more diverse
talent, visual art and activities including the 1st Annual DB-Conference and
1st Annual OPTICAL Multimedia Showcase. With only 6 weeks left until the
festival, we encourage all of you to explore our updated website at
www.decibelfestival.com/2006 and secure your 2006 Decibel Festival Pass
which is now on sale. See you in September!!
