In the ten years of its existence, Rome’s Dissonanze Festival has earned itself a reputation for threading a lineage with its programming from Italo, krautrock and other early electronics to South London’s latest 138 treks, and bringing many artists to Italy for the first time. And they don’t need 27 stages to do so: everything happens within the centrally located Palazzo dei Congressi, plus a little warm-up session and afterhour on Friday, and a closing A/V show at the Ara Pacis on Sunday. This year’s anniversary line-up – the tenth edition of the festival takes place from May 21 to May 23, 2010 – is exceptionally exceptional, selecting a fine balance between originals like Gil Scott-Heron and modern innovators like Shackleton.
