The association : La Plage Sonore

La Plage Sonore, association culturelle

The Cooksound Festival is an event produced by the association La Plage Sonore, créée en 1992 à Marseille. Nous proposons un panel culturel où productions musicales et accompagnement d’artistes se mêlent à l’organisation d’événements. Ces initiatives culturelles, dont les maîtres-mots sont la découverte, la curiosité et le mélange artistique, permettent de marier différents publics autour de trois disciplines : la musique, le cinéma, et la gastronomie.
We have also participated in large and numerous professional events such as MIDEM, Groningen, the International Festival of Benicàssim, etc.

La Plage Sonore est adhérente au PAM (Cooperation center for Actors in the Music sector in the South & Corsica Region) depuis 2000. Le directeur du Cooksound Festival est également membre du Conseil d’Orientation d’ARSUD (South Region Performing Arts Agency).

Our activities

Thanks to the professionalism and networks developed over many years, more and more structures and artists are asking us to join the association and benefit from our know-how in the field of artistic and professional support. We have been asked many times to speak at professional meetings and thematic information days around themes such as develop your musical project or artistic development strategy. In addition to organizing numerous tours of artists abroad and in France, we also provide administrative services in order to facilitate the link between artists and employers or programmers, via the constitution of pay slips and declarations to contribution bodies such as URSAFF, ASSEDIC, AUDIENS, GARP, AFDAS, or even show holidays.

THE BIRTH OF THE COOKSOUND FESTIVAL

We have increasingly extended our activity by organizing numerous events where we have put forward our experience, our artistic skills and our constant desire for originality. Several types of events should be noted: special evenings and the Cooksound Party. These allow the public to enjoy an evening with a theme mixing three artistic fields: music, gastronomy and cinema.
Following the success of these Cooksound Parties, the concept was rolled out in 2011 into a real open-air festival, the Cooksound Festival, qui a lieu chaque été au Couvent des Cordeliers à Forcalquier !
