SUMMARY:Audible Edge Festival of Exploratory Music
DESCRIPTION:SAVE-THE-DATE: FULL PROGRAM TO BE ANNOUNCED MARCH 13 \nAudible Edge is a festival of exploratory music presented by Tone List. It’s geared towards exploring the marginal\, experimental\, and not-normal. It happens yearly in Boorloo and Walyalup\, on Whadjuk Noongar land. In 2024\, it begins at sunrise on April 26\, and ends at moonrise on April 28. \n  \nSince 2017\, Audible Edge has platformed exploratory music in Boorloo and strengthened the ties connecting us to the scene globally. We’ve persisted through COVID disruptions\, taking on many new shapes and forms in the process. This year\, we’re excited to return to our roots: three days of back-to-back events\, packed with great (weird) music. \n  \nAudible Edge celebrates play\, freak energy\, silliness\, ephemerality and “getting stuck into it”. We see these as meaningful ways of engaging with new experiences (it’s not all chin-scratching seriousness). We love local\, emergent\, queer and contingent projects. We love straight-faced experimentation rubbing shoulders with unhinged wildness (or when you can’t tell which is which!). We strive to make accessible contexts to appreciate all of this. We want to share the radical potency of our community\, and invite friends from distant lands and waters to be a part of it too. \n  \nOur program is full of wild and weird high-contrast bookings. Sometimes they contain contradictory approaches or unresolved tensions. We invite any and all responses to this. We find Audible Edge is best when listeners\, hosts and makers all share in the messy process of ‘making sense’. (Whatever that even means.) \n  \nAudible Edge 2024 also features a Night School: a pre-festival program of weekly workshops. The Night School explores how we might write our own stories\, build our own platforms\, and listen better. A local\, interstate or international guest facilitates each session. It runs from March 24 to April 21 (and isn’t always at night). \n  \nAudible Edge received an Art Music State Luminary Award in 2023 from APRA AMCOS and the Australian Music Centre. This recognised five years of contributions to the creative music culture of this side of the continent. It has received 4.5 and 5 star reviews in Limelight Magazine\, and coverage by various other publications.

SUMMARY:Audible Edge '24: Put 'em in a box
DESCRIPTION:Tone List and Cool Change Contemporary host the opening of “Put ‘em in a box”\, an exhibition of a creative process coordinated by Taiwanese curator Shih Ya Tien. As well as this opening event\, the Cool Change gallery is also open to the public between 11am and 4pm on Thursdays and Fridays. \nA city is like a vast container\, encompassing the chirps of birds\, barks of dogs\, human chatters\, as well as the noises of traffic and construction sites. Activities happening in nature or facilitated by humans never cease to occur and to generate sounds. These sounds\, which permeate our daily lives\, come together to form delicate fragments of a place’s past and present. They quietly accumulate beyond the bounds of language and shape our understanding of a city. In order to capture\, replicate\, represent\, and play these audio fragments\, various devices for sound production and reproduction have been invented. These devices themselves\, too\, act as containers which facilitate the reception and circulation of intricate\, mundane secrets. \nPut ’em in a Box invites 5 artists residing in different cities—Chi Po Hao\, Chloe Lin\, Samuel Beilby\, Sarah Song\, suzueri (Elico Suzuki)—to share their unique perspectives on sounds through their artistic practices\, and\, furthermore\, to exchange materials such as field recordings capturing the sounds of their local environments. This project experiments with conversions between visual and audio interfaces\, while also exploring how sounds are captured\, interpreted\, and expressed. Through the artists’ layered reception and interpretation of sounds at the locations where they listen\, in video call windows on screens\, in chats\, in mailed cardboard boxes\, and\, ultimately\, within white cubes\, the multifaceted attributes of Taipei\, Tainan\, Tokyo\, Perth\, and Helsinki are beautifully illustrated. \n\nAccessibility:\n\nThe Kings Complex building is wheelchair accessible via the ramp entry. Cool Change is located on the second level\, accessible via lift. Doorways are 83cm wide. There are no accessible bathrooms in the building. The closest accessible bathroom is located in the City of Perth Library\, 150m down the road on Hay Street. No alcohol will be served at the venue. The Cool Change Project Space is small\, and does not have windows that can be kept open. The space may feel crowded at times. There is no dedicated check-out space booked for the space currently.

SUMMARY:Audible Edge '24: Our inner beings complete the missing links
DESCRIPTION:This morning double bill of acoustic music may seem gentle and unassuming — and it is! But it’s also quietly one of the most psychedelic\, mind-bending experiences in the festival. Read on. \nBerlin-based duo The Long Form have committed themselves to the study and performance of music in the tuning system called “extended just intonation”. Playing on microtonal bass flute and double bass\, these performers are deeply attuned to the nuances of vibration. They will perform a 21st century masterpiece by committed composer Catherine Lamb\, Muto Infinitas. In this piece\, the sound of the two instruments intertwines to form an ever-expanding sequence of harmonies\, from which a melody ever-so-gradually unfurls. Immersing oneself in a world so attentive to resonance in space can have skin- and spine-tingling effects. \nSecond up is the unlikely duo of Blue Mountains-based accordionist Monica Brooks and local singer Sage Pbbbt. Performing just once at the NOW now festival in Sydney\, their collaboration is the stuff of mythology. Sage Pbbbt is a ritual vocalist exploring ritual magick\, meditation and improvisation. Monica Brooks’ various artistic interests are occupied by landscapes and conservation; maps\, and the idea of ‘Hjemfalden’\, or\, as can be brashly reconceived as belonging\, landscapes\, loss and love. As an improvising duo\, they circle around each other with whispery tones and fragile utterances\, performing with grace and focus. \n\nAccessibility:\n\nPS Art Space is a wheelchair accessible venue at street level from the pavement. It has one women’s bathroom and one gender-neutral\, wheelchair accessible bathroom located on the ground floor. The music will be acoustic\, it will at times be very soft. The venue is large with adequate space for social distancing. The front door will be kept open prior to the performance\, but largely closed during the show. There are no windows for ventilation in the main gallery. Lighting will be simple warm washes\, the space may be a little dark at times. There is no dedicated check-out space booked for the space currently.

SUMMARY:Audible Edge '24: I make big noise and make small sound\, I am in the air and on the ground\, I'm out of sight and can be found. What am I?
DESCRIPTION:The last hurrah of Audible Edge! \nI make big noise … is a relaxed late arvo concert celebrating the close of the festival. Expansive sound collage\, poetic reflections\, and nuanced folk provide a soft final landing place for those at the end of a big festival weekend; or a perfect Sunday outing for homebodies! This all-ages\, families-welcome gig is set up with catering by Teeter and Manna\, interactive activities\, outdoor space and room to stretch out\, and no alcohol (but cups of tea and yummy drinks by Strangelove). \nThis concert is also an album launch for Tone List’s 40th release by Jenny Hickinbotham. Jenny’s songs and poetry are cheeky and singular. They are joyous creative outbursts that often reflect her day-to-day life\, idiosyncratic worldly observations\, and her lived experience of hearing voices. Jenny will perform live in collaboration with local enigmas Chris Cobilis and Lana Rothnie. As a never-before-heard trio they are bound to cause a ruckus in the best way. \nComposer Simon Charles and John Kinsella\, one of this continent’s foremost poets\, debut a new collaboration. Using field recordings\, analogue tape\, musical notation and poetry\, Simon and John have made tender traces of the suspension bridge in York\, on Ballardong boodja. Their work attends to the bridge and how it relates to its surroundings\, unravelling multiple meanings and connections. The piece will be performed by the two artists accompanied by long-time collaborators Jameson Feakes\, Rebecca Lane & Jon Heilbron. \nAt the top of the show is the debut of tenforward\, the duo of Lyndon Blue (Heathcote Blue\, Leafy Suburbs) and Jessyca Hutchens (Jane Harris). Both wordsmiths\, folk stars and gentle weirdos in their own right\, their two unique sensibilities combine to make tender-hearted ditties. \nGood vibes supplied in-between sets by DJ Ayo Busari\, who plays tunes from the orbit of dancehall\, house\, hip-hop\, RnB and Afro remix culture\, augmented with live percussion. \nAt any point during the gig\, get stuck into Emilie Monty’s Sonic Scavenger Hunt\, from which this gig takes its name. This is a self-directed activity set amongst the eucalyptus\, galahs and red bricks surrounding Sullivan Hall\, for kids of all ages. Put on your thinking hats\, silly hats and sun smart hats and join in to discover and delight in hidden treats. \n\nAccessibility:\n\nThe Sullivan Hall is a wheelchair accessible venue\, accessible via the footpath on inclined but smooth terrain. The music will mostly be at a comfortable volume but may occasionally be very quiet or a little loud. It will be well-lit with natural light. The event is alcohol-free and all ages. There will be free food available including gluten-free and vegan options\, and non-alcoholic drinks for sale. There are two accessible all-gender bathrooms located outside the venue\, connected via a footpath. The venue is spacious and windows and doors can be kept open throughout most of the performances for the duration. Some of the quieter performances will involve the doors and windows being closed\, and then re-opened after the performance. There is no dedicated indoor check-out space\, but you can go outside into the garden\, or even across the road into the park. Emilie Monty’s work gives the opportunity to check out and do a focussed listening activity by yourself or with a few friends whenever you feel like it.
