The Philosophy
Started in 1979 by Jean-Louis Brossard and Béatrice Macé, The Trans has been the place to discover new music and unknown sounds, a musical trip where people discover an artistic melting pot from all around the world. Right from the first editions, before the word ‘festival’ was attached to the event, the artistic bias of the line up was towards originality and the emergence of new artistic forms. Since 1979, Trans has shown the will to capture the musical zeitgeist and to maintain with it a relation of curiosity and direct impregnation.
The philosophy behind the festival is to help people discover new music styles, artists that are little-known or even totally unknown, but that will be the future of musical expressions thanks to their original and innovative nature.

Famous quotes containing the word philosophy:
“The Scripture was written to shew unto men the kingdom of God; and to prepare their minds to become his obedient subjects; leaving the world, and the Philosophy thereof, to the disputation of men, for the exercising of their natural Reason.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“In everyone’s youthful dreams, philosophy is still vaguely but inseparably, and with singular truth, associated with the East, nor do after years discover its local habitation in the Western world. In comparison with the philosophers of the East, we may say that modern Europe has yet given birth to none.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
