Orizont Sonor 2025


SEMI SILENT is happy to announce its contribution to the organizing and programming of the second edition of Orizont Sonor, a festival dedicated to podcasting, radio, and sound art. Initiated by the Institut français de Roumanie à Bucarest in 2024, with a beautiful first edition in Constanța, this year's annual meeting is taking place in Bucharest.

The highlight of SEMI SILENT's propositions is the program curated by Anamaria Pravicencu and hosted by Grădina Botanică "D. Brandza", Universitatea din București, on the 28th of September, a series of 5 events dedicated to gardens, the life of plants, contemporary rural life, and the relationship to nature. We invite you to a performance by Vittoria Assembri (IT), a round table moderated by Laura Jiga Iliescu (RO) about "Les nouveaux contes de Cincu" (New Tales of Cincu), the new radio documentary created by Marie Guérin (FR) and coproduced by RTS and SEMI SILENT, a guided listening of sound pieces about gardens that were produced by SEMI SILENT and composed by Maria Balabaș, Cosmin Nicolae, Pheobe Riley Law, Anamaria Pravicencu and Manja Ristić, a presentation of a series of bio-art experiments and sound installations about plants with Sillyconductor, and closing the program and the festival, a subtitled (RO/EN) listening of the brand new radio fiction "Nuages" (Clouds) by Anne Lepère (BE), coproduced by Babelfish asbl and SEMI SILENT.
