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. Or, in less coded words: a show of unpredictable, sonically immaculate and really fun music to get moved by. Current Bias has been working at a textured & wild approach to dance music since relocating from Boorloo to Te-Whanganui-a-Tara some years ago. With a digital, ambient & electroacoustic sound palette, their music is adventurous, playful and joyously weird, driven […]

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. This evolving collection of audio, transcriptions, and photographs examines the voyeuristic nature of these interactions, offering a poetic reflection on the intrusion into public […]

"good-time-math-prog-disco-slow-head-banging" - Improved Sequence For the weird rock dogs out there Tone List is excited to bring over "the world’s only Australian-Italian electroacoustic noise rock trio", Sulla Lingua. An alliance between Italian out-improvisers Riccardo la Foresta & Stefano Pilia and the prolific Castlemaine-based composer Anthony Pateras, the trio's live sets are a truly smashing compendium of drum kit hammering, baritone guitar melodies and Doepfer modular drones. This happens over layers of samples procured from the sonic experimentation each of them is staunchly dedicated to in their solo practice. Silly brainiac rock for those inclined towards the likes of The Dead […]
