Sound Travels brings sound art to the outdoors on Toronto Island in a way that entices the curious and provides a unique experience each and every year. This 10th edition of the annual festival will this year feature an expanded set of indoor and outdoor interative installations and sound sculptures as well as indoor and outdoor concerts, site-specific performances, soundwalks, artist talks and workshops as well as the 2nd annual Toronto Electroacoustic Symposium.
 The Sound Travels 2008 festival includes Ellen Waterman and Robert Normandeau as composers-in-residence whose music will be featured in Sound Travels. Ellen and Robert will mentor the creation of new works by local emerging artists (TBA) in our emerging artist residency. Their works will be presented during the Sound Travels concert weekend alongside works by Jørgen Teller, David Ogborn, Wende Bartley, Hervé Berolini, Rob Piilonen and Matt Miller and more.
