Art Beats—meaning the beats of art that amplify emotions—is a project that combines the visual experience of artworks displayed in Bologna’s most beautiful museums with the auditory experience of sounds and compositions created by talented composers known for their experimentation and genre-blending.

Each exhibition space is selected by the musician, inspired by a room, an object, or an atmosphere that sparks a creative need. The original works that follow result from contemplation and reflection, featuring sound design projects and soundscapes that enrich the visit, providing a multi-layered perceptual experience. Sound installations and live performances are unique compositions available to the public during the event, during which access to the museums is free and open to all.

Art Beats is a project by dBTechnologies.
