In this episode of Oak City Move, Sophs sits down with Kai Riedl, the director of the Slingshot Festival of Electronic Music and Art, to discuss the festival’s origins, its growth into an international phenomenon, and the ever-evolving relationship between music and electronic art.

We dive into how the festival has evolved over the years, exploring its unique blend of art and sound, and the vision behind curating an experience that challenges and inspires attendees.
