Supersonique was created in 2022 at the initiative of teachers of the electroacoustic composition classes at the Conservatoire and the Cité de la Musique de Marseille

For its 4th edition, two major events for the festival:

First, the 2025 edition will take place entirely outside the walls of the Comptoir de la Victorine. It will take place at the GMEM for the acousmonium concerts, as well as at the Cité de la Musique de Marseille and the Conservatoire for the conferences and performances.

Supersonique is expanding considerably and becoming a festival that takes place over ten days and takes place in three stages.

Opening on Sunday, August 31 with an acousmonium concert by performer Jonathan Prager.

This will be followed by a series of conferences and performances bringing together artists and academics around the theme of DIY (Thursday 4 and Friday 5 September).

The final act brings the public together on Sunday, September 7, with a 12 p.m. (noon-midnight) concert. More than 70 works are performed on an acousmatic system of 47 loudspeakers.

Supersonique presents works and composers from around the world, representing over 30 nationalities. The program is based on aesthetic diversity, an anonymous selection process for the call for works, and gender-balanced programming.
