ABOUT DECIBEL

 

Founded in 2003, Decibel Festival became a unique platform for exposing
attendees to leading-edge multimedia art from around the globe. With a focus on
live performance, interactive multimedia art, state-of-the-art sound and
technology based education; Decibel solidified itself as one of the premier
electronic music festivals and promotional organizations in the world. The
five-day festival program averaged over 25,000 attendees a year. Outside of the
annual festival program, Decibel Events has produced hundreds of one-off events,
ranging from intimate club performances to massive international festival
stages.



In 2015 Decibel celebrated its final festival program in the Seattle area. Since
then Decibel has been functioning as a Los Angeles-based event/production
company. Decibel’s commitment to hosting leading-edge artists and educators
continues as they prepare for their 20 year anniversary celebration in 2023.
