Sunset listening experiences to delicate, careful music by highly-regarded experimental musicians from around Australia. Dale Gorfinkel www.dalegorfinkel.com  Dale Gorfinkel has been engaging in site-attentive improvisation for over fifteen years. He carries a deep attention, playfulness and a captivating sense of flow across all of his performances, which usually are made on self-made instruments. His “Air Drums” use breath to vibrate large balloon membranes stretched over drums. These are amplified by microphones that swing like pendulums, creating phenomenal ripples of tone and sub-bass rumbles. Bunningscore meets profound attunement with place. Sun 5 Nov, 6pm – Dale Gorfinkel Fri 10 Nov, 6pm […]

fOUR: Nate Wood’s one-man band of virtuosic ability and space-y sounds. Grammy-nominated, New York-based multi-instrumentalist Nate Wood called this project fOUR “because it’s me with four limbs playing four instruments at once”. A truly ambitious take on going solo, Wood plays everything — analogue synths, drums, bass, guitar as well as vocals — at the same time. fOUR’s sound veers from complex, space-y prog rock to electronic-tinged instrumentals. “Wood’s brain splits attention between four synthesisers, an electric bass and a drum kit, all while singing about futurism. Wood plays all of fOUR’s tunes in one take. No backing tracks. No […]

Sally Ann McIntyre visits from Naarm to play at the Fremantle Biennale on November 9. Here she's offering something better suited to a small space […]

We are extremely excited to announce our first SHOW: EXHIBITION OR PROJECT; Samuel Beilby’s Machinic Paragenesis. Samuel’s work captured us instantly and have put together an exhibition that just had to be part of CURRENT. This is one of those shows that you just have to experience to grasp. In Samuel’s own words: ‘On one-hand, it can be recognised as a DIY experiment in guerrilla field recording and video art-making that amounts to both an exposition of capitalism’s definitive exploitation of the natural world, and the generative potential of noise as an artistic material for charting complex tensions particular to […]
