Analog Revival represents a concept for exhibiting music in all of its phases - from the conceptualization, formation, recording, production to performance. Project aims to make all stages of music creation tangent, transparent and available. By keeping the essence of the traditional functioning as a factory, the project aims to redefine the term. Instead of only manufacturing, the Analog Revival factory incorporates as well the production of ideas, interactions, art.
