Pored glavnog festivala počeo je da radi i World Music festival „Todo Mundo“, tako da nije iznenađenje što su u programu „Ring Ring na Belefu“ i World Music i nešto drugačija, tipična Ring Ring muzika, spojeni u jedno. Festival će činiti sedam koncerata i muzičkih performansa i to u junu i u julu. We'll play FIVE MORE STRING QUARTETS (by Phill Niblock) on the opening concert of the BIENNALE in VENEZIA.

Curated by Joanna Bailie, the evening features three major pieces for chamber ensemble and electronics performed by Apartment House. 

American composer Phill Niblock’s 5 More String Quartets features four amplified live musicians playing over a stack of overdubbed string quartet recordings. Johannes Kreidler's in hyper intervals smashes expectations of remix culture, creating a rebellious union of the acoustic and electronic. Atopia (hyperamplified) by Yannis Kyriakides explores the relationship between loudness and distance, inspired by the sounds of sand drifting past a kitchen window in Cairo. http://www.cafeoto.co.uk/micromusic.shtm

The Spinning Mill in Bocholt The old spinning mill, which is currently under reconstruction, will open its doors for two summer days, the artMUSE Festival in Bolcholt. artMUSE is the very first event taking place at the almost renovated spinning mill. Therefore the curatorial concept is strongly based on the venue’s atmosphere and its future role in forming the culture of Bocholt and the region. The spinning mill was the witness of industrial revolution, the flourish of textile industry; it was abandoned as the postindustrial and digital revolution made it economically inefficient and finally useless. The artists invited to artMUSE Festival are all reflecting on this phenomena, the changes brought by digital revolution in the society , the industry culture and the region’s everyday life. The invited artists using the tools of new media, basically digital equipment to evoke different segments of the above mentioned historical and present issues. Furthermore the artworks are “woven through” with references to textile.
