Kyma International Sound Symposium (KISS 2009)

The First International Kyma Symposium was held 8-10 October 2009 in the vibrant Poble Nou neighborhood of Barcelona during the annual LEM festival. The program included master classes presented by the creators of Kyma, papers and demos presented by Kyma practitioners, and a program of concerts, live improvised silent film scores, and culminating with Saturday night/Sunday morning dancing at the Moog to Cristian Vogel's live Kyma set.

Videos of KISS 2009 will be uploaded when available.
