Background
Back in 2001, the now retired Noise Festival has had its first edition and, in a way, Zasavje Noisefest International is now its heir as the prime place to experience the current happenings of the noise scene.
The spiritus movens of the festival is Neven Agalma, a musician himself, who is active under many guises, the most known probably being Cadlag, Onttervjabbit and Dodecahedragraph. Even before initiating the festival, he was already organising events in Delavski dom Trbovlje Cultural Centre and his concert series (started in 2013) is still taking place and is called Noise kurilnica [Noise Boiler Room]. This varied and ardent set of activities of Neven probably help a lot in presenting a varied and internationally minded line-up, for which he is cooperating with various other crews and festivals, such as the Venoise crew from Venice and the Treviso art collective Dirtmor.
Programme and venues
There are usually around 30 hosted artists per year and the more prominent guest of the festival include: Napalmeix (CH), Manuel Knapp (AT), Crank Sturgeon (USA), Lorenzo Abattoir (IT), Fukte (IT), Gravhund (DK), Hiroshi Hasegawa (JAP), Analogue Suicide (TR), Casperelectronics (USA), Fckn' Bstrds (NE), etc. Some of the notable local musicians are Theremidi Orchestra, Cadlag, Boštjan Leskovšek, Monoscarves & Kikiriki.
Besides the main part of the festival taking place at Vašhau, some of it is - in the days before and after the festival - also taking place at venues such as Klub Metulj, Gustav hall and Menza pri koritu and also in the ether of Radio Študent (RŠ). In Menza, the event is organised by DRMK - Collective for Development of Youth Culture, who used to set up the now deceased Noise Festival.
