Tone List returns with another of our intermittent experimental club nights. Come down to the Bird for off-kilter DJ sets pushing and pulling between the rapidfire rhythms of jungle & footwork and the introspective textures of downtempo, ambient & electroacoustic music.

Must Be Somewhere’ by Sanche Zev Opening Night: Thursday 16th October 6-9pm Exhibition runs: Thursday - Sunday 11 - 4pm ”Must Be Somewhere” is an ongoing project by Sanche Zev that explores the intersection of the desert’s soundscape and human presence. Using payphones as field recorders, Zev calls public phones across the Western, Central, and Southern desert regions, capturing both conversations with strangers and the silence of the desert when calls are answered by no one.
