SUMMARY:Fremantle Biennale: Sound Sauna
DESCRIPTION:Sound Sauna is a one-of-a-kind sensory ritual — a resonance spa at Manjaree (Bathers Beach)\, perched on the edge of the Indian Ocean. Set within a repurposed shipping container and lined with locally sourced timber\, this installation fuses the restorative heat of traditional sauna culture with a transformative sonic experience. This intimate space invites you to sweat\, float and dissolve into a curated sonic journey. \nAcross a series of 60-minute sessions\, sound artists\, musicians\, poets\, and cultural leaders create immersive soundscapes designed to deepen connection to place. Inspired by the Fremantle Biennale’s 2025 theme of sanctuary\, each session is an exploration in active listening\, collective care and embodied transformation. Sound changes with the time of day: morning meditations and vocal landscapes drift toward late-night DJ sets and experimental bass vibrations. Your body becomes a conduit for deep frequency — buoyant\, dissolving\, alive. \nWhether you’re drawn by tradition\, curiosity or the lure of sound and heat\, Sound Sauna offers a space to reflect\, to soften and to feel\, floating between breath and rhythm. Come alone or with others. Sit\, listen\, sweat. Let the ocean hum at your back. The warmth will carry you and the sound will stay with you. \nFt. Lawrence English\, Alice Humphries & Daniel Thorne\, Aarti Jadu\, LiaT and Jade Vision + more to be announced!

SUMMARY:Fremantle Biennale: A Predatory Chord
DESCRIPTION:A polyphonic signal fractures and scatters throughout the space — dispersed across a suspended field of loudspeakers. Cello-like tones rise and recoil in response to an inaudible threat\, echoing the murmuration of prey animals under pressure. The room becomes an evolving environment\, a volatile ecology of pitch\, pressure\, and mass. Sometimes\, it breathes. Sometimes\, it drops into an uncanny silence. \nIn A Predatory Chord\, acclaimed composer Ben Frost pushes the very medium of his practice: the PA system. Loudspeakers — typically hidden — become spatial and sculptural instruments\, shaping sound into form. This is more than music\, this is a living intelligent system — reactive\, physical\, and unpredictable. \nOriginally commissioned for the Rolex Arts Festival\, A Predatory Chord lands at the Fremantle Biennale with its full original scale and tension. From the mind behind award-winning scores such as Dark\, Frost’s latest work continues his deep investigation into thresholds of sound\, technology\, and the unflinching wildness of the natural world. \n\n\n\nDate and Time \n13-30 Nov (Thur-Sun)\n11am-8pm \nLocation \nVictoria Hall \n\n\nEntry \n$15 + booking fee

SUMMARY:Fremantle Biennale: Sounds of Some Summer
DESCRIPTION:Sounds of Some Summer is a sprawling soundscape by Fremantle-based artist Bruno Booth\, turning the city itself into an instrument. Across Walyalup (Fremantle)\, five microphones are discreetly installed — tuned to the sounds of the everyday — the wind\, port\, voices\, traffic\, and silence. These live audio streams feed into a central mixing station at the installation’s “epicenter\,” where the city’s sounds\, as summer awakens\, are remixed in real time. \nSometimes quiet\, sometimes dissonant\, the soundscape is in constant flux — modulated by a rotating cast of invited “conductors and performers”\, curated by Lyndon Blue. Using distortion\, delay\, and instruments to sculpt spontaneous compositions from everyday noise\, each performer will create a layered audio experience that’s never the same twice. \nInspired by the brain’s Default Mode Network — a state of mind-wandering triggered by ambient stimuli — Booth’s installation offers a space for gentle drift\, introspection and imaginative thought. It’s a work that invites you to listen differently: to find new meaning in the familiar\, to be still inside a moving world. Bruno Booth’s innovative practice spans sculpture\, technology and participation. With Some Sounds of Some Summer\, he offers a quiet proposition: that a city might be found in its background noise.

SUMMARY:Boring Divine pres. Lucas Abela w/ Furchick\, Bilg & Scientia\, onetwotwofour
DESCRIPTION:“Lucas is just captivating. It’s incredible how they can flip the feeling of a room upside down and sonically there’s just no other sound like theirs” – ZACH HILL. – Death Grips.\n\n\n“One moment you hear John Coltrane playing a volcano\, the next you hear a string section being squeezed through a toothpaste tube” – David Rees – The New York Times.\n\n\nMaverick improviser; Lucas ’Granpa’ Abela’s (formerly Justice Yeldham) singular journey performing on shards of broken glass is the stuff of legend. For over twenty years now they have relentlessly toured the globe\, the glass evolving over that time from a means to create free-noise cacophonies into an incredibly versatile instrument producing organic outsider electronica. Played somewhat like a reed instrument\, Abela vibrates the shards edge with their lips\, producing both audio signal and control voltages. These feed a complex modular patch of parallel chains where the performance modulates itself to give the instrument the illusion of a ghostly accompaniment that together forms dense layers of anomalous music.\n\n\nOn 31st of October\, Lucas Abela & Zach Hill released a collaborative album on Warp Records\, “Bag of Max Bag of Cass”.\nLucas will have merch including a limited amount of the new LP on the night.\nhttps://warp.net/bag-of-max-bag-of-cass\n\n\nhttps://granpa.bandcamp.com/\nhttps://www.instagram.com/granpa_abela/\n\n\n~~~\n\n\nBoring Divine presents Lucas Abela\, on two dates.\n14th of November\nBuffalo Club\, Upstairs\n54 High St\, Walylup\n\n\n&\n\n\n22nd of Novemeber\n____g.s.\nShop 12\, 375 William Street\, Boorloo\nhttps://www.instagram.com/_____.g.s\n\n\n~~~\n\n\nTICKET LINKS:\n14th of November\, Buffalo Club Upstairs\nhttps://events.humanitix.com/lucas-abela-buffalo\n\n\n22nd of November\, _____g.s.\nhttps://events.humanitix.com/lucas-abela-_g-s\n\n\n~~~\n\n\nBuffalo Club Supports:\n\n\nFurchick\nhttps://www.instagram.com/fur.chick/\n\n\nBilg & Scientia\nhttps://www.instagram.com/bagsstew/\nhttps://www.instagram.com/lelskaye/\n\n\nonetwotwofour\nhttps://www.instagram.com/one2.2four/\n\n\n~~~\n\n\n____g.s. supports:\n\n\nMatthew Taggart & Lara Dorling\nhttps://www.instagram.com/yumyab/\nhttps://www.instagram.com/laradorling/\n\n\n~~~\nAccessibility\nPlease note that unfortunately Buffalo Club Upstairs is not wheelchair-accessible.\nThe show on the 22nd of November at ____g.s. is wheel-chair accessible with a dedicated accessible bathroom.\n\n\n~~~\n\n\nJoin the mailing list!\nhttps://boringdivine.au/\n\n\n~~~\n\n\nThese events takes place on stolen Whadjuk Noongar land.
