Experience the new and unusual in sound art at this special performance brought to you by Tone List. Event Content: A short performance program of fascinating, experimental and unusual music from artists with strong connections to Mandjoogoordap. Across three projects, artists explore diverse takes on new ideas in sound and listening today. Josten Myburgh plays virtuosic and enrapturing music on solo alto saxophone, exploring circular breathing and other unusual techniques on the instrument. Newly-formed duo Panamuna Triangle play a hypnotic, free-form take on post-punk, inspired by noise music and ambient jazz alike. Rhys Channing (aka Tilde~) makes use of percussion […]

For their SEF workshop this month, Lyndon Blue invites you to share in a spirit of playfulness and genre-anarchy at Sullivan Hall. The afternoon will feature a revival of Lyndon's 2016 ensemble experiment 'Red Hot Go' - in which participants are required to attempt specific ideas on wholly unfamiliar instruments - as well as exploration into "game pieces," and the strange art of improvising songs. Lyndon Blue is a musician from Boorloo/Perth with a focus on composition and recording, and an instrumental background in violin and double bass. They have performed and released music locally and internationally, under their own […]

JASON KAHN (Zurich) jasonkahn.net LAURA ALTMAN (Sydney) & SAGE PBBBT lauraaltman.net sagepbbbt.com DALE GORFINKEL (Naarm) dalegorfinkel.com WE1 XAM (Naarm) marfalightsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/middle-america WETPUDDLSS https://www.instagram.com/wetpuddlss_dj/ Super excited to present this line-up of outrageously good experimental music from artists active internationally. Sometimes deadpan and intense, sometimes goofy and wild, always committed to fascinating new possibilities with sound and performance and having a Good And Interesting Time. Zurich-based artist Jason Kahn has spent over playing and writing about experimental music internationally. His idiosyncratic approach to modular synthesis involves directly touching the instrument's patch cables to use his body to complete circuits, and overdriving the instrument […]

Active listening, as in the sense of a listening intervention, is something that each of us can do without any special training or skills, but which many of us might not have thought of doing before. Much has been made of the art of field recording, but […]

Fremantle’s Inner Harbour will be transformed by The Port’s Call, an expansive sonic installation by Thomas Supple and Byron J Scullin. Beginning at dawn on the first day of the Biennale and continuing until dusk on Sunday 12 November, the arrival and departure of each large vessel (regardless of the time of day), will be signalled by a bespoke soundscape. With each passing vessel, a continually changing symphony of sound, using long-range acoustic technology, will echo throughout the Port. Stretching across a square kilometre, from the South Mole into Victoria Quay, the harbour will become a living stage for this […]

Kastoms is a new iteration of Taloi Havini’s Answer to the Call, an immersive twenty-two speaker installation, composed in dialogue with contemporary arts practice, scientific investigation and customary wisdom.

An island platform will lie at the centre, its shape and blue tones will evoke the depth and expanse of our understanding of Oceania […]
