Celebrating its fifth year, Ametric Festival returns to the captivating San Salvatore Bastion in Chania on September 12th & 13th, 2025. This year, the festival aims to re-explore the mixing of diverse musical and cultural references in a spirit of inclusion, as a fundamental condition of artistic expression. OCD Project and Coherent States once again join forces, presenting an eerie and intense experience. The bastion's unique architectural features provide the perfect backdrop for the sound and aesthetic highlighting of contemporary and experimental music, allowing the festival to continue showcasing innovative sound spaces with a focus on the interaction between artists, venue, and audience. Within these Venetian walls, we invite attendees to join us for an unforgettable journey into the depths of sound exploration.

In one of his very rare live performances worldwide, British artist Nigel Ayers comes to Crete to present the unconventional and diverse sound he has developed as Nocturnal Emissions for more than 45 years in an unceasing exploratory journey of electronic music from its formative years to the present, where he continues to record regularly. Coming from France, one of the most important experimental musicians, sound and visual artists of our time, Félicia Atkinson will present her trademark ambient / spoken word sound alongside the improvisational percussion set by the Australian drummer / electroacoustic composer Will Guthrie, who will perform in Chania after the unexpected cancellation of his Ametric performance last year. The idiosyncratic experimental cut-up dance music of Turbo Teeth will act as a counterweight to the dark conceptual soundscapes of ILIOS, while the intense cello/electronics set of Viki Steiri will interact with the experimental/techno sonic terrains of Devika and the psychoacoustic electronic set of Tristanos.
