First organised in 2014, Zasavje Noisefest International is a young festival that, as the name suggests, is presenting an international programme of experimental sound and noise music. The core of it is taking place at a temporarily set up venue called Rudarski Vašhau, which was originally a decommissioned bathhouse for miners in the Zasavje region. Alongside this place, the festival is also hosted at a few other venues in varios parts of Slovenia.

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, Ontervjabbit and Dodecahedragraph. Even before initiating the festival, he was already organising events in Delavski dom Trbovlje Cultural Centre and his concert series (which started in 2013) is still taking place and is called Noise kurilnica [Noise Boiler Room]. This varied and ardent set of Neven's activities helps a lot in putting up a varied and internationally minded line-up. To make it happen, 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, Gustaf hall, Pekarna and Klub 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.
