Introduction
What does the future of music sound like? Borderline returns to the city's heart for the twelfth consecutive year with a three-day festival that will redefine the beat of the Athenian audience.
Noise, acceleration, and multiplicity. Borderline 2023 is an exploration of the ways that avant-garde music and its techniques (loops, samples, distorted vocals) have bled into mainstream music. A new generation of artists has access to cheaper hardware and software and all the world's music at their fingertips thanks to the internet. Lines between genres crumble, new sounds and technologies emerge. Pop is dead and more alive than ever as it absorbs and metabolizes these changes.
What is the soundtrack of Athens today?
Borderline 2023 is curated by Movement Radio, Onassis Stegi's web radio.
