Sophia performs live at Rosemount Hotel on Friday February 20, joined by supports Ben Buchanan and Nika Mo. This rare, intimate seated performance offers a close-up experience of her music and is not to be missed. Sophia Hansen-Knarhoi is a detail focused experimental ambient-folk songwriter, combining expansive evocative sound worlds with intimate storytelling. With her first album Undertow, London-based composer/singer-songwriter Sophia Hansen-Knarhoi reveals stark vulnerability nestled in a dark ambience that is both intimate and expansive. Voice and cello provide the bedrock of a detail focused record, that threads together memory, grief, growth and connection. Undertow took its shape during an […]

Norwegian duo Smerz make their long-awaited Australian debut at Freo.Social on 25 February 2026, celebrating their new album Big City Life (2025). With their moody avant-pop, minimalist production and hypnotic, almost-whispered vocals, the pair have built a significant cult following for music that drifts between club culture, performance art and late-night introspection. Smerz have earned major international acclaim for their distinctive sound, and they’re now in Australia for a limited run of shows and festival appearances, offering a rare chance to step into their lucid, slow-burn dream world. We honour and acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people as Traditional Owners of […]

“The best thing in Boorloo every year.” “The only festival I’ve been to that leaves me with more energy after a set than when I arrive.” “Just joyful.

Be the first to hear about the AE’26 program by attending our program launch at Patio Bar in Walyalup/Fremantle. Audible Edge is an artist-led, international festival of exploratory music.

A site-specific sound installation in which the Naval Store becomes a living organ. Acoustic feedback loops are generated and modulated by interconnected systems: real-time Fremantle weather data — wind speed, humidity, temperature and atmospheric pressure — flocking algorithms that govern the collective behaviour of sound across space, and the resonant frequencies of the microphones and the building itself. Found objects suspended from the ceiling trusses act as speaker units, connected by cables radiating from a central control system. The installation evolves slowly and unpredictably over the exhibition period, accumulating and shifting like salt itself. ‘Organs, Breathes, Salt’ is an outcome […]

“The best thing in Boorloo every year.” “The only festival I’ve been to that leaves me with more energy after a set than when I arrive.” “Just joyful. I could not fault anything with the way it was run.” AE is an artist-led, international festival of exploratory music. It’s held annually on Whadjuk boodja since 2017. It includes delightfully strange songs, forward-thinking club sets, brazenly weird experiments, bracing noise, virtuosic improvisation, anti-virtuosic improvisation, listening through dancing, new directions for ancient music, dinners, treats and strolls. Our mission is to make a low pressure, fun atmosphere, and a powerful, attentive listening […]
