On 28 & 29 June 2025, TIMES was in Milan for Terraformaᵉˣᵒ Milano.
Hosting co-curations from Nuits sonores, and Unsound, the Italian festival returned to the green environment of Parco Sempione, welcoming some of the most visionary DJs from the global electronic music scene broadening the conversation beyond the park’s boundaries. This year, Terraforma collaborated with Atlas of Change to investigate the complex relationships between climate, society, and infrastructure. Check out their Visual Manifesto here.

Terraformaᵉˣᵒ Milano also hosted The Talk, an artistic creation commissioned by Nuits sonores, Reworks and Terraforma.

Co-curated with Nuits sonores:

Lorenzo Senni presents “EUREKA! (Mix Legacy 2011–2025)”

EUREKA! is a curated selection of moments drawn from Lorenzo Senni’s iconic mixes, spanning nearly fifteen years of sonic exploration. These “composed-mixes” functioned as experimental frameworks through which Senni developed his theoretical and aesthetic investigations into Pointillistic Trance and Rave Voyeurism. By isolating and recombining hundreds of build-ups—primarily sourced from Trance, though not limited to the genre—Senni constructs extended, non-linear progressions that interrogate the structural and affective mechanics of electronic dance music. 

Florian Hecker presents FAVN

FAVN is an automated performance tracing the blurry boundaries between reality and imagination, sensory perception and hallucination.

Evoking notions surrounding late-19th-century psychophysics and the quantification of the senses, in FAVN, we follow Debussy in sonically reincarnating the protagonist of Mallarmé’s 1876 poem “L’après-midi d’un faune.” FAVN uses the question ‘What did I hear?’ as a way to interrogate the constructive cognitive processes that intervene in apparently purely sensory, or indeed sensual, experiences.
