Noisefest is an experimental music festival featuring performances by local and touring Noise musicians. Attendees will be immersed in the genre of noise, with sensory-rich performances in multiple spaces inside and immediately outside of Project Project.

Noisefest is free and open to the public.

Noisefest is a collaboration between Omaha Mobile Stage, Project Project, No Coast Noise Collective, and the University of Nebraska Omaha's TAPEnsemble, School of Music and Service Learning Academy.

Noisefest is made possible with support from Humanities Nebraska, Nebraska Arts Council, the Nebraska Cultural Endowment, and SoundArte.net.

Lecture - 5 pm

"Friction, Feedback, and Failure: A Brief History of Noise Music,” an interactive public lecture by Dr. Seth Shafer, will trace the development of an (anti-) art movement from its roots in the Second Industrial Revolution to its proliferation as a variegated international practice, highlighting the people, tools, and techniques that made it possible as well as the problematic aesthetics and politics associated with noise.
