The Decibel Festival was an annual music and digital arts festival in Seattle, Washington, which featured live electronic music performance, visual arts, and new media.[1]

History

The festival was launched in 2003 by Sean Horton[2] and a team of volunteer staff. The festival consisted of concerts, performances, film screenings, exhibitions, panels, lectures, workshops, and commissioned works across locations throughout Seattle, including the Capitol Hill neighborhood and Downtown Seattle.[1]

Audiences grew from 2,500 to 25,000 over the festivals 12 years.[3]
