As regular attendees of Eufònic already know, the festival is concentrated into two long weekends. The first weekend is called Pòrtic Eufònic. This year, the Pòrtic is from July 4 to 7 and is filled with openings of artistic installations, workshops and participatory activities, and also concerts and sound actions connected to the landscape, heritage, and gastronomy of the area, which are part of the new programming line Eufònic Terra. In total, there are 24 activities spread across 6 towns in Terres de l’Ebre: Tortosa, Amposta, Ulldecona, Gandesa, Bot, and Campredó. And so you don’t miss anything, here is a day-by-day overview.

THURSDAY 4

On Thursday afternoon, we invite you to visit the Old Oil Mill in Ulldecona. At 7 p.m., the installation “The Shape of Water” by Marie-France Veyrat and Jaime de los Ríos will be inaugurated just before the singer-songwriter from Donostia, Sara Zozaya, combines Basque musical tradition with electronic pop-folk.

At night, we will go to Campredó. At 9 p.m., the Mapasonor association, Kilian Estrada, and Sàgar Malé will present a sound performance at the train station building, which will include recordings of Campredó’s life and voices of elderly people that take us back to the oral memory of the town. Following this, music in the bullring with the Mediterranean folk-pop of Mar Pujol, presenting her first full-length album, “Pantry Songs,” preceded by a selection of soul and exotica by DJ Goodfellah. Eufònic will also kick off in our virtual environment, the Synthetic Room. From July 4 to 14, you can explore the imaginative potential of AI in “Imaginaries,” the installation by designer and audiovisual artist Gerard Valls Montaño.

FRIDAY 5

A highlight at the Tortosa Museum with the inauguration, starting at 7 p.m., of “Seismic Echoes,” the installation by Colombian visual artist Leo Pum with the participation of the mechanical music group RIIIM.

In Bot (Terra Alta), at 8 p.m., the sound art installation by Óscar Martín aka NOISH will be inaugurated at the Lo Molí hostel (open until July 7), and from 9:30 p.m., top-notch live coding AV shows with Turbulente and Eloi El Bon Noi, and Lina Bautista and Timo Hoogland. Another very special option for this evening is dinner + an electronic pop performance by singer and actress Aida Oset at the Les Moles Restaurant in Ulldecona, which boasts a Michelin star.

SATURDAY 6

We will start the route in Paüls. At 12 p.m., Albert Barqué-Duran will present the sound action “Slowly Fading into NECTAR” based on the sound of dried clementine trees. Then, we will have a vermouth at the Ermita de Sant Roc in the company of a house-techno historical figure like DJ Rosario, and enjoy the concert by Magalí Datzira with her vision of jazz filled with funk, pop, and urban influences.

We’ll spend the afternoon in Amposta. At 6 p.m., we will witness the inauguration of the impressive light box “The Garden of Delights,” the digital art piece by Anna Rierola, installed in La Lira Ampostina until July 14. At 7 p.m., we will head to the Lo Pati Art Center where the highly acclaimed Dutch sound artist Edwin van der Heide will activate the pneumatic sound installation “Phasing Air” (open until July 28, don’t worry).

SUNDAY 7

The last day of Pòrtic Eufònic will begin among olive trees at 11:30 a.m. in La Sénia with the sound action by Carlos Martorell aka Shoeg. Then, we will go to La Pista to enjoy the electronic project lāminal and dance to the indietronic selection by DJ 106.

And in the evening, you can choose between two options: either go to Gandesa to witness the historical memory event and at the same time a tribute to the American composer and pioneer of mechanical music Conlon Nancarrow, first with a talk at the Memorial Museum of the Battle of the Ebro and then, in the Patio de las Escuelas Viejas, with a video projection by Francesc Torres (featuring unpublished images of the Lincoln Brigade and the Battle of the Ebro) and a player piano concert by Riccardo Massari Spiritini; or you can choose to go up to the Ermita de la Pietat in Ulldecona to enjoy the urban music concerts by YoungBoby & vierr and the punk-new wave of Los Yolos, followed by a non-stop DJ set until late by Priscila.
