Out West Liminal Sounds

an intervening space, especially a very small one - Daniel Harrison & Tessa Beale
2024-02-28 - 2024-03-11 | Current, 141 Queen Victoria St, Fremantle, WA, 6160, Australia
‘an intervening space, especially a very small one’ is a new body of work built upon a collaboration between visual artist Tessa Beale and composer Daniel Harrison in response to the Dwerda Weelardinup (Cantonment Hill) site.
The artists are interested in the transient nature of observed shifts in light, shadow, texture and movement and the potential for quiet moments encountered in nature when in unhurried time. Via sound and visual output, Harrison and Beale go about extracting particular qualities, properties and characteristics, changing the scale at which things are observed and establishing new conditions for these observations.
The composition and interpretation of these environments is based on a tacit contemplation of the sounds and the microenvironment that it was sampled from. By identifying a shadow, a movement, a quality of light or a texture detected in the surrounding natural environment of this site we aimed to create an immersive experience for the viewer.
Visual artist Tessa Beale and composer Daniel Harrison are excited to present their collection of new works at Current Gallery opening Wednesday 28th February (6-9pm). This exhibition is a collaboration between the two artists, sharing and responding to material from the site of Dwerda Weelardinup (Cantonment Hill, Walyalup). The result is a collection that spans prints, photography, compositions, projections, and field recordings.
The exhibition will be happening at CURRENT Gallery [housed in the former substation of the Naval Store, Walyalup] between the 28th of February to the 11th of March 2024.
We wish to acknowledge the Whadjuk Noongar people as the traditional owners of the land on which we work and practice. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

Michael Rother & friends / Pale Ribbons Tossed Into the Dark
2024-02-23 20:00 - 22:00 | The Rechabite Hall, 224 William St, Northbridge, WA, 6003, Australia
Join innovative music pioneer Michael Rother and some of his influential friends as they revisit the legendary NEU! canon for a new audience (and old fans).
As a founding member of NEU!, Michael Rother (alongside his companion the late Klaus Dinger) has cast a line of inspiration that has shaped numerous musical generations. From his first musical genesis as a member of Kraftwerk and his work as Harmonia with Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius, Michael has etched out an entirely personal sound world, most recently captured on a string of solo and collaborative albums.
Joined by long time collaborators Hans Lampe (La Düsseldorf), Franz Bargmann (exCamera) and Vittoria Maccabruni, this performance celebrates 50 years of NEU! and its groundbreaking legacy. It takes the now legendary NEU! canon and reworks it as a tribute to Klaus Dinger and in recognition of Michael Rother’s continued exploration of his utterly unique and profound way of music making. Hear a selection of favourite tracks from Michael´s long career, including fast-forward tracks from NEU! and Harmonia as well as solo works.
Support on the night comes from Pale Ribbons Tossed Into The Dark.
The Rechabite Hall is wheelchair accessible elevator. A gender neutral accessible bathroom is located at basement level.

Lonnie Holley & Moor Mother with Irreversible Entanglements
2024-02-22 19:00 - 21:30 | The Rechabite Hall, 224 William St, Northbridge, WA, 6003, Australia
Three of America’s most cosmic and visionary artists join forces for an incandescent collaboration.
Mystic performer and visual artist Lonnie Holley and prophetic jazz poet Moor are joined by revolutionary free-jazz ensemble Irreversible Entanglements, who will also perform new material from their Impulse! Records debut, Protect Your Light.
Lonnie Holley and Moor Mother bring their collaborative chemistry together as well as performing their own, universally acclaimed recent releases — Lonnie Holley’s Oh Me Oh My, which was named Best New Music on Pitchfork, and Moor Mother’s Jazz Codes, which The Guardian hailed as ‘a stunning continuum of Black music’.
The interwoven energies of these three artists add up to a magical, life-affirming brew of cosmic jazz, afrofuturist poetry, folk, blues and uplifting anthems of resistance and triumph.
Accessibility:

There will be a dedicated space on the Rechabite Hall ground floor for patrons with accessibility requirements

Kinds of Light 9: E Millar / Cobilis, Lee, Myburgh, Pedersen, Pbbbt, Terren
2024-02-21 19:30 - 22:00 | PS, 22 Pakenham St, Fremantle, WA, 6160, Australia
Kinds of Light is a concert series for creative music in the striking surrounds of PS Art Space in Walyalup/Fremantle. Curated by composer and improvising musician Josten Myburgh, Kinds of Light celebrates ambitious experimentation, careful musicianship, and sounds that are relevant to this place and time. It is programmed across style and genre, excited by the love and rigour that goes into music that defies categories.
Kinds of Light kicks off in 2024 with a co-curation with Boorloo-via-Montreal label Mystery & Wonder. E Millar will present a live instantiation of her artificial field recording project. Craig Pedersen, joined by Michael Terren, Djuna Lee, Josten Myburgh & Sage Pbbbt, will perform his composition “residues”.
E Millar is a builder of intricate kinetic sound sculptures using recycled consumer-grade electronics and found objects. Her instruments together accumulate to form what sounds uncannily like a tiny forest: bristling and subtly shifting.
https://mwrecs.bandcamp.com/album/artificial-field-recording

Craig Pedersen is a composer and trumpet player. His collective compositional output, largely in the form of text-based scores on index cards, embodies the dream of an ever-shifting body of work, flexible to the expressive needs of the present. At Kinds of Light he’ll present a suite of compositions titled “residues”, exploring themes of place, time, body and collective biographies, performing on electric bass alongside friends from the local scene, Chris Cobilis (electronics, guitar), Michael Terren (electronics), Djuna Lee (double bass), Josten Myburgh (saxophone, percussion) and Sage Pbbbt (voice, percussion).
https://mwrecs.bandcamp.com/album/dismissal
Known for gorgeous and detail-attentive handmade packaging, Mystery & Wonder are a label based in Boorloo since 2023, and in Montreal prior to that. In their own words: “Many of our releases focus on sound art, improvisation and compositional works that give attention to the musical possibilities inherent in combining or superimposing closely amplified elements with acoustic elements. We are interested in work that takes care with sound and timbre, structure and form, is close, direct and in high-definition. But most off all, we are interested in work that defies our understanding of all this and moves us in ways we don’t expect, work that stands on its own.”
mwrecs.com
Doors and bar open from 7:30, with the music starting shortly after. Each artist will present a performance of 30-40 minutes duration, with a break in-between.
Accessibility: The event is held on the ground floor of PS which is wheelchair accessible on even concrete flooring at street level. Gender-neutral and accessible bathrooms are located down the stairs on the ground floor. There is ample seating available and the venue is very spacious. The music is dynamic and may at times be extremely quiet or quite loud. No strobes or flashing lights will be used.
Tone List acknowledge the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation as the traditional custodians of where we work (Walyalup and Boorloo).

Contrary to our art-punk-witch aesthetics, we need to get to bed on time. We’ve gotten it in our heads that this is a common experience. If so, then Early Worm is the answer to many concerns of todays work-a-day anarchist poet.
It’s got that dank maybe-I’ll-sit-and-not-dance vibe. The whole event is held in a corner. There are fried snacks, cheap negronis, and all our performers and poets are guaranteed shut-ins; transferred to the venue under the duress of their damnable muse.
A midweek wander through a delicate pulp of mixed mediums from performers. Bravely attempting to call down the early birds, to somehow be seen and not eaten.

A new musical work by Ad Lib Collective featuring Wind Up Bird, in collaboration with Andrew Nicholls
Throughout human history solar eclipses have been viewed as omens of pending disaster. Inspired by the 2023 total solar eclipse in Exmouth Western Australia, celebrated contemporary artist Andrew Nicholls has conceived a suite of visual art works speculating about the disaster that this particular eclipse may have been foretelling, to be showcased at Holmes à Court Gallery @ No. 10 throughout February.
You are invited to join us at Holmes à Court Gallery for the world premiere of a musical work commissioned by the artist from acclaimed contemporary classical ensembles Ad Lib Collective and Wind Up Bird. Mimicking the timing of the Exmouth eclipse, audiences will experience a sense of the drama and beauty of this extraordinary solar event, with its frenetic build-up of energy, and the uncanny awe of the ‘moment of totality’. Part sonic performance experience and part-magickal ritual, Portent (a ritual) represents a unique collaboration of creative disciplines spanning the visual and performing arts.

Tone List Presents: Guylaine Cosseron & Diemo Schwarz (France) / MGMGMGMG / Kirsten Symczycz & Ben Greene
2024-01-31 19:30 - 22:00 | PS, 22 Pakenham St, Fremantle, WA, 6160, Australia
Tone List presents the third concert in our ad-hoc series for experimental music, upstairs at PS in Walyalup/Fremantle.
The collective MG create work reflecting a shared interest in world building, alternative cosmology, experimental lorecraft, and situated transgression. They have integrated video, musical improvisation, drag performance, noise, light, wet materials, spoken word and written word, and embodiment practices.
Guylaine Cosseron is an animalistic singer exploring a ‘total voice’ where all components of vocal sound are part of musical expression. Diemo Schwarz is based in Paris and an active contributor both to improvised music practice using computers, and to emergent research on concatenative synthesis, a technique where tiny particles of sound are re-assembled algorithmically into new sonic realities. Their duo folds exploratory voice and fragmented electro-acoustics in strange communions. Might remind hardcore Tone List fans of James Bradbury and Sage Pbbbt’s collaboration on one of our earliest releases, Biomimicry.
http://concatenative.net/
Accordionist Kirsten Symczycz & drummer Ben Greene (orphans, Dez Cartez) return for their first on-stage duo collaboration in some time. Both jazz-trained but influenced by post-rock, doom and improvised musics, they’ve a precise control of both delicate and dense textures in improvising.
Doors and bar open at 7:30pm, live music starts a little after.
Tone List events work on a pay-what-you-can principle: you are welcome to pay any amount. For this gig we suggest $25 or $15. These prices help us to pay the artists something reasonable. Paying more will support the artists, and may also in effect subsidise those that are unable to afford to pay. We encourage carers, companion card holders, Indigenous people and people in difficult financial situations to enter for free.
Accessibility: This event is held upstairs at PS, which is only accessible via two flights of stairs. Gender-neutral accessible bathrooms are located on the ground floor. The music will at times be very loud or very quiet. No flashing lights or strobes will be used.
Tone List is a Boorloo-based exploratory music label, operating on the lands of the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation. We pay our respects to custodians and elders of this boodja past, present and future.

Three people meet at the same moment. They embark on a relationship that radically challenges conceptions of romantic love–other people’s and their own. Their love will be tested by the misunderstandings and assumptions of everyone else in their lives. Will they cope? Written by beloved experimental singer, composer and poet Sage J Harlow (Sage Pbbbt),
<3 love song is a queer love poem exploring the joys, hurts and dangers of non-normative love, set to live original music played by avant-garde dream team Annika Moses (Nika Mo, Great Statue), Lyndon Blue (Heathcote Blue, Leafy Suburbs) and Josten Myburgh (Land’s Air, Ghost Gum Reverb). This is a quietly ambitious, tender work by a special local artist exploring new facets of her practice.

Decibel: Sound Drawing in Space
2023-12-13 19:30 - 21:00 | The Rechabite Hall, 224 William St, Northbridge, WA, 6003, Australia
This is a world premiere program of chamber music as you will never had experienced it – music that uses creative forms of notations exhibited in 3D space. Facilitated by media artist Sohan Ariel Hayes, the music notation is animated in projections that are shared with the audience as well as the musicians, creating an immersive and innovative performance experience for both. Expect experimental and exciting sounds you may not have heard before, alongside immersive, animated video and lighting that challenge your idea of what a music score can be. This is Decibel’s first and only performance in WA for 2023.
World premieres from Brenda Gifford (NSW), Kate Milligan (WA), Donna Hewitt (NSW), Kezia Yap (NSW), Dave Brown (VIC) as well as WA premieres of music by Jaslyn Robertson (VIC) and a special reworking of Hungarian composer György Ligeti (1923-2006) by Decibel member Lindsay Vickery to honour the composers’ centenary.
“Adventurous, inquisitive, challenging. Decibel honour and sabotage modernist traditions.” Cool Perth Nights.
“Decibel blows the traditional out of the water” Limelight.
Founded in WA in 2009 by artistic director Cat Hope, Decibel are world-leading interpreters of graphic notations and pioneer digital score formats for chamber music composition and performance. Whilst rooted in western art music tradition, Decibel aim to remove stylistic boundaries in their commissioning and performance approaches, which focus on the combination of acoustic and electronic sounds in experimental music performance settings. Decibel have extensive experience in presented these ‘visual scores’ – both in exhibition environments (Drawn From Sound (2012), Sounding Art (2017) and their regular concerts – this program takes their work with music notation to a completely new level.

Unfold 'Glass Heart' album launch, with Pale Ribbons Tossed Into the Dark
2023-12-08 19:00 - 21:00 | Swanbourne Church of the Resurrection, 105 Shenton Rd, Swanbourne, WA, 2023, Australia
Tone List presents the release of Glass Heart, a new album by Unfold, the duo of Thea Rossen & Alice Humphries, launching in the striking acoustic of the Swanbourne Church of the Resurrection and making use of the venue’s grand piano.

https://weunfold.bandcamp.com/

The duo will be joined by a rare set by experimental post-ambient trio Pale Ribbons Tossed Into the Dark working the grand piano into their dense soundworld.

https://prtd.bandcamp.com/

On ‘Glass Heart’ Unfold filter melodic fragments and improvisational moments, looking to weave these materials into music that coalesces around singular points of focus. The duo explore space, both temporally and acoustically, and restraint, finding ways to work with a limited set of materials and manage their sound making with great care over time. Throughout Glass Heart the listener is presented with the deep resonance of the bass drum, which provides a bed for sparse moments of melody to flourish, flowing from the prepared piano and open stringed scordatura electric guitar. Moments of sustain and near silence are punctuated with bold strikes of the bass drum that can be felt in the chest and highlight the scale in the work, the small fragile sounds of glass, marbles, seeds and bells rendered as such in relation to the drum. True to their name, Unfold work through attention and care to unravel, unpack and unfold the vast aural phenomenon emergent from simple gestures and present a sonic landscape for the listeners’ patient investigation.
From the artists:
“Having previously worked together in a performer / composer relationship, Unfold came about through a shared desire to work together in a more collaborative and spontaneous context, where we both operate as performers/improvisers/composers and blur the lines between these roles.In the time leading up to making Unfold, we were both stripped back by personal experiences of parenthood, early postpartum, loss and grief. Carving out this creative space with each other was a way for us to reconnect to our creative selves and the pure joy of making and playing with sounds that we find beautiful.We began these pieces as improvisations based on a single idea that each of us brought, either a melody, an object, or a textural idea. Unfold is about clarity and simplicity. Stripping an idea back and letting something grow slowly.”
Doors from 7:00pm, with live music starting a little after.
Tickets are pay-what-you-can, with a suggested price of $25 or $15 depending on your means. Free tickets are available for First Nations people, companion card holders, and those experiencing financial hardship.
Accessibility: The venue is wheelchair accessible, with accessible bathrooms. There is ample seating available and the venue is very spacious. Some amplified music may be quite loud and dense, or very quiet, at times.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land that this event is held upon: the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation. Sovereignty was never ceded and we acknowledge and value their central role in contributing to the vitality of this region both now and across millennia past and still to come. Always was, always will be.

Samuel Bielby: Machinic Paragenesis (opening performance)
2023-11-15 20:00 - 21:00 | Current, 141 Queen Victoria St, Fremantle, WA, 6160, Australia
[Editor’s note: We are aware of a performance occurring at 8pm on the opening night of the exhibition by Samuel and collaborators, advertised on Current’s Instagram. The below text is identical to the main exhibition event on our listing.]
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 our late-capitalist reality.
On the other-hand, the project ironically drags noise back into the meat-grinder, commodifying the emancipated remnants of a labour built upon harvested bio-organisation and amounting to a diminution of the liberatory potential of noise in production systems. This is an experiment that has produced a paradoxical outcome, in which product and byproduct, luxury and necessity, repetition and difference are blurred, confused and hybridised.’
