[Sonar is] not just about the music, since its inception in 1994 the festival has long championed new media art. It plays host to exhibition areas, along with the live performances, and a cinema which feature audiovisual work, multimedia installations, films, and video art. It’s a place where hackers, technologists, musicians, coders, and artists come to showcase their work and hang out.

In the video above Liars talk about creating and translating their sounds for a live show. “The trick for us,” says Liars’ Angus Andrew “is how do you translate this electronic music you’ve created this way to something that’s more physical in a live performance.” They also discuss how the festival has always been a place that likes to challenge its audience with experimental work.
