Tone List presents a lineup of interstate-local collaborations at Local & Aesthetic. Two high-contrast duos exploring thoughtful blends of electro-acoustic sound, one dynamic & noisy, the other evasive & subtle. Aviva Endean & Josten Myburgh have recently been experimenting with a duo language that combines softly humming layers of electronics generated by sustain pedals, under their acoustic clarinet & saxophone. Playing at whisper-quiet volumes and gliding in and out of silence, the electronic tones are like a mirage behind the acoustic layer: all the sounds weaved together, almost indistinguishable. This is their first live performance of this project after recording […]

For the noise heads & jazz fiends alike we are stoked to present a concert headed up by one of the world's most jaw-dropping drum kit players, Will Guthrie, joined by prolific Naarm-based saxophonist Flora Carbo & elusive ambient noise duo Radiation. Will Guthrie's drum solos are unbelievable in their combination of head-nodding rhythmic intensity, hardcore physicality and unashamed virtuosity. At the same time as being brutal workouts they are undeniably nuanced and driven by a synthesis of influences as diverse as chopped & screwed hip hop, rhythmic avant-jazz, classic electroacoustic music, noise & gamelan music. Will has released on […]

Join renowned Australian drummer Will Guthrie for an in-depth workshop exploring polyrhythmic and polymetric techniques in contemporary percussion.

31.1.26–> for the first cab home for the year we’re cruising into a puritanically LIVE event that skirts the edges of music you know, love and have never heard before. Over at CC HQ we are still pinching ourselves that the kernel of the eve should be Artificial (a.k.a Nicole Skeltys), an artist who has released across the temporal and aural spectrum. We’ve experienced her projects as feeling out liminal sounds; serenely staunch IDM, acidic boppers and tinkling jingles to have you twirling into the early morning. You may have crossed paths with her music under the guise of B(if)tek […]
