What is Sustain-Delay?

Exploration, interaction and sound.

In 2025, the Malta Society of Arts’ adventurous music programme, Sustain-Delay, returns to unite art forms, disrupt norms, and foster transformative dialogues. This year’s edition of Sustain-Delay presents an ambitious line-up of 14 distinct events, offering a diverse, intriguing and yet approachable selection of concerts blending electronic and classical music with experimental, jazz and folk traditions, alongside poetry and dance. Deepening its commitment to the community, Sustain-Delay 2025 also introduces engaging and enjoyable workshops designed to leave a lasting impact.

The 2025 programme unfolds over four dynamic seasons: Winter (February), Spring (April), Summer (July) and Autumn (November), with additional fringe events happening throughout the year. Each season carries its own unique concept, and the programme goes beyond concerts to include workshops and talks, hosted at the Malta Society of Arts and other venues across Malta.

Kurt Buttigieg – Artistic Director’s Biography

Kurt Buttigieg is an “occasional artist and unwavering tinkerer”, with a perpetual organisational streak.

He read for a Master’s degree in Sound Art from the University of Barcelona and previously worked at the museum of the European Parliament in Brussels as curator for temporary and permanent exhibitions, and also planned spin-off museums in other EU capitals.

He organised numerous concerts, workshops and exhibitions in Malta and Belgium, as well as founding a small label called Complex Holiday documenting “inside-out ambient and sound art tomfoolery”. He is also a writer for several specialised magazines, including The Wire and New Noise.

As an artist and musician he released several works over that past twenty years, under his and other names, and created Malta’s first dedicated sound art installation in 1999.

A strong believer in community, Kurt is a committee member of the Banda Immakulata Kunċizzjoni (Ħamrun), Ħsus, Arsha Our and is active in other social, cultural and environmental projects.
