The Ripa International Festival of Sound is a four day gathering of producers, engineers and lovers of music technology in one of the most beautiful medieval hill towns in Italy.

The festival is a chance for people from around the world to get together to learn, eat, drink and build community in the hills of Le Marche overlooking the Adriatic Sea.

The event was created by American producer-engineer, Ronan Chris Murphy, and is entirely organized and staffed by volunteers, and all of the money raised from the festival will go to support local cultural organizations in Ripatransone.
