Durations 2024

Durations is a weekend-long multi-instrumental exploration of sound, asking how music connects body, mind, memory, and imagination across time. 

The festival aims to connect sensation with experience. Presented by Public Records in collaboration with Pioneer Works, Durations brings together a diasporic lineup of electronic and experimental artists and guest speakers for a series of live and club performances and presentations that push boundaries in music and philosophy.

The name of the festival derives from the concept of duration, a theory of time and consciousness developed by French philosopher Henri Bergson (1859-1941). It describes time as a continuous, flowing experience, rather than a series of discrete moments. Bergson’s theory of duration is based on the idea that time is subjective and personal, and is deeply connected to our consciousness and perception.
