NOTCH Festival 主旨是將北歐聲音與影像文化，與中國藝術圈子融合，他們前衛與未來派的獨特表演方式，為觀眾帶來全新體驗。
　　NOTCH於06和07連續兩年在北京、上海和廣州三地舉行，反應熱烈。而今年10月第一個星期，將會舉行NOTCH08，除原有三個國內城市外，香港亦會成為其中一站。
　　今年NOTCH08主題是”Comma Coma”，是沒有停頓的Coma，於過去的一年，我們經歷過疫症、經濟、物價等問題，應該如何面對？很多人都沒有答案，而NOTCH08正是借助北歐與本地音樂人與藝術家，提供一個展望未來的視野。
　　NOTCH08 帶來了6個北歐與香港單位，各自從哲學體系中表現出獨特個性。音樂上橫跨Free Jazz、Improvisation、Electro-acoustic、Avant Garde、Psychedelic Folk、Indie-Pop 等不同風格，再配以視覺表演輔助，當中參與單位全部是從北歐與香港圈中嚴選出來，形成匯合多元化文化藝術的經歷。
　　
　　NOTCH Festivalfuses cutting edge Nordic audiovisual culture with China’s emerginglocal scene, pushing the audience to rethink their contemporary andfuture role via the theme of “contemporizing the future” and thepractice of “de-futurization”.
　　Following the successful debut andfollow-up efforts in 2006 and 2007 in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou,NOTCH08 will return to the 3 cities during the 1st week of October in2008. In addition, Hong Kong will join as the 4th city to participatein NOTCH08.
　　The theme for this year’s NOTCH08 is “Comma Coma”, thatis “non-stop coma,” the overwhelming state we are facing in a year ofnatural disasters, stock market crisis and price increases of oil andfood. How will we cope with it? Many people have no idea. NOTCH08 aimsto present a vision toward the future via participating Nordic andlocal artists’ artistic expression that we should start reducing, notconsuming more resources to lessen our burden on the fragile earth. Italso reflects NOTCH’s cultural meaning: notch , or grooveas primitivehuman’s method of recording. Every single notch has its own uniquesocial value.
