Tone List is partnering with the Politics of the Machines conference to present two avant-sundowners in the cosy nook that is Astral Weeks. Riffing off the conference theme of synthetic sentience, this little program delves into the sounds of field recordings, machine animism, swarming and simulacra. A solo set from E Millar explores rich textures produced by amplifying tiny sounds made by kinetic sculptures made from recycled consumer electronics. Bearing an uncanny resemblance to field recordings, E’s works often engage directly with this parallel, foregrounding both the earthiness and strangeness of these mechanical constructs. Visiting artist Robbie Avenaim is a […]

“Mary Rapp is one of the most exciting and emerging talents in Australia. I haven't in over 40 years of international experience come across a musician of Mary's caliber.” Jon Rose “Rapp had an instinct for being taciturn and pithy; for making the music gossamer light or adding phenomenal weight and vigour, using extraordinarily few notes” Sydney Morning Herald Vessel joins Tone List in presenting a performance for voice, cello and double bass by Mary Rapp. The performance will take place in Gian Manik’s exhibition Regenerative Strategies and will absorb the work, the space and the site itself to create […]

Produced by TURA, this one-night-only performance on August 11 at the State Theatre Centre of WA is a deeply human story of homecoming celebrating the life’s work of one of Australia’s finest First Nations musicians and poets through spoken word, soundscape and music. Mungangga Garlagula is a culmination of Mark Atkins' life and expansive career. A descendent of Western Australia’s Yamatji people and of Irish-Australian heritage, Mark Atkins is a virtuosic didgeridoo player […]

Sage J Harlow is the author and composer of O,D,E, a "text score opera" premiering at The Blue Room Theatre from 26 August - 6 September. Probably the first opera of its kind, text scores - open-ended, written prompts for musicians and singers - make up the entirety of the work's 65-minute score. There is no traditional music notation in the opera. So what is a text score? Why write them? What different types of text score are there? This workshop will explore these questions. You'll be invited to play some text scores by other people; write some of your […]

O Death! I shall become! Meditation is a powerful force. O used it for liberation, until their peaceful passing. Their lover E is led astray by power and seeks to bring O back from the dead. They manage—but do not recognise O in their new body, so seek to become Death themself. Death is just doing her job. Until she isn’t.  O,D,E is a new experimental opera by Sage J Harlow (aka Sage Pbbbt). A queer, occult retelling of Orpheus & Eurydice, grounded in the suffering that comes with simply being alive. Exploring gender and identity, characters change bodies, enter […]
