Skaņu mežs is a festival for adventurous (innovative, experimental, avant-garde, etc.) music from Riga, Latvia. This year Skaņu mežs is celebrating its 20th anniversary with special events, including the showcase at Tallinn Music Week. Seeing as all forms of modern music have an experimental dimension, there is always a wide variety of musical genres represented at the festival – from electro-acoustic music, free improvisation, contemporary composition and noise to interesting shifts in dance music, hip-hop and rock or metal.
