Terraforma Festival

Terraforma is the manifest of our belief that new dimensions can now be terraformed.
A three days festival where music is the catalyst: a timeless centre of gravity for energies, with a breaking point from which sounds and images create a sense of suspension capable of pointing us towards new perceptions.
Terraforma innovates the concept of musical experience by emphasizing the relationship between event and impact, incubating moods and forms of sensibility durable in time.
We want to breed a new concept of listening, to encompass everything that music expresses and reveals; let it be inside, around or outside us, our society and the world.

Terraforma takes place in the woods of Villa Arconati just outside Milan and involves artists who experiment new ways to reduce the distance between art and life.
Music and its listening take man back to his natural frequencies where sense of rhythm is once again bound with the environment. Terraforma is organized according to sustainable practices, integrating aspects from production to consumption of resources. An organic structure where the musical aspect is integrated with installations crafted by artists and artisans, and where gatherings and workshops will provide opportunities for meditation, actively involving the public. The interlace of musical, artistic and environmental dimensions will form an atmosphere capable of stimulating the listener’s sensibility to think about the present and the future in a new way, a cultural innovation sprouting from respect of the other and of the environment.

SUSTAINABILITY MODEL

Terraforma is working to overcome the typical organizational methods used for events by changing it’s approach from planning to practicing innovative management, to reduce and optimize the use of resources.

The aim is to create a shared vision between all of the festivals stake-holders and create a positive impact on the territory. The method will integrate multiple variables, based on the sustainability mantra in all of it’s forms. By measuring the influx and outflow of the Terraforma ecosystem, guaranteeing its results through accredited eco-sustainability certifications, knitting a network of partners and stake-holders that integrate new technologies with traditional methodologies.
These are examples of the variables and micro-objectives inserted in the planning process.
To re- generate our ecosystem we will need to develop qualities essential to the transformation of our own selves.
To reduce the waste of resources, it is essential that we re-evaluate our true needs.
