Greek electronic fiesta Synch mixes live music, interactive media and art installations at the Benaki Museum and nearby Technopolis.

Hosting events during the day at the museum and next-door at Technopolis in the evening, the festival is known as the place for live acts to make their Greek debut. This year's line-up includes Moloko's frontwoman Roisin Murphy, Canadian electronica rockers Holy F***, minimal techno dub by Moritz Van Oswald Trio and pop art from the UK's Stereolab.

Although the music focuses on the contemporary electronic scene, there is no limit to musical expression and musicians come from different backgrounds to share ideas and create evolving musical hybrids.

Digital movies and short films are also prominent and the AV and art installations include work from artists such as Graffiti Research Lab and Tony Light. Moving Image is an international non-competitive film festival which aims to promote experimental and innovative use of new media, rather than traditional narrative cinema.

Please check the festival website for a full line-up of music, as well as the locations for the after-parties.
