This participatory workshop focusses on experimental and critical writing practices, techniques and histories in their alignment with experimental art and music cultures. It's an invitation to discover the role and possibility of writing in our underground music community. Any experience levels are welcome. We will explore how writing (including the adjacent areas of art writing, artists’ writing, and art criticism) aligns itself with the affective dimensions of music and listening practices. These are practices that might require capabilities of being attentive, playful, experimental, interrogative, porous, open, site-responsive, and reflective. We will also consider the changing role of critical writing, reading and self-publishing within contemporary audio art and experimental music cultures and […]

Step into a world where art and nature converge. COMPOST is an immersive site-specific installation that activates the dystopian "public green space" using cutting-edge generative sound technology. By connecting two diodes to a plant and harnessing a delicate electrical signal, we unveil the plant's secrets. Its resistance dances in enigmatic patterns, responding to touch, light, and sound. Join sound artists Leisl Lucerne-Knight and August Pope in ceremonial sonic symbiosis to reignite connections between fellow organisms on Sunday April 7, 3pm – 5.30pm at a Secret Outdoor Location to be revealed.

Edited by Frédérik Lesage and Michael Terren, Creative Tools and the Softwarization of Cultural Production explores how creativity is increasingly designed, marketed, and produced through digital products and services which, the editors argue, are not politically, economically or culturally neutral. For this Night School session Michael Terren will lead a discussion building off of ideas expressed in the book. This will explore how artistic praxis has been co-opted by the service economy, rebranding it as the 'creative industries'. It will explore the consequences of this co-opting: insecure work as the norm, erosion of work-life balance, erosion of unions, and so on. Terren […]

After Lili is a homely crossover of a solo piano concert, crip hangout space, and 6-hour durational performance art. It explores disabled cultural histories and everyday self-advocacy, in recognition of the French composer Lili Boulanger (1893 - 1918). Boulanger wrote contemplative and expressive music, with ambitious structures that embedded her own crip time living with chronic illnesses. She is remembered for her professional achievements whilst challenging reductive perceptions of women composers, and passed away when she was 24. In his last month of being 24, Patrick Gunasekera will perform Boulanger’s 1911 piano work “Prelude in Db” 24 times in After […]

All the clouds go to school is a curve-ball afternoon gig that celebrates local legends in the north-side home of indie music, The Bird. Grab a cold one and ease into this playful, curious and wandering array of live sets from the best of Boorloo’s underground DIY scene. Experimental post-rock geniuses The Definitives combine unassuming yet profound lyricism with charming ocker delivery and way-out instrumental grooves. They perform as a large collective with spoken word, guitars, drum machines and synthesizers. The music they make together is free-form and raucous, yet also tender and personal. Multi-disciplinary artist Luka Buchanan collaborates with emerging […]

This morning double bill of acoustic music may seem gentle and unassuming — and it is! But it’s also quietly one of the most psychedelic, mind-bending experiences in the festival. Read on. Berlin-based duo The Long Form have committed themselves to the study and performance of music in the tuning system called “extended just intonation”. Playing on microtonal bass flute and double bass, these performers are deeply attuned to the nuances of vibration. They will perform a 21st century masterpiece by committed composer Catherine Lamb, Muto Infinitas. In this piece, the sound of the two instruments intertwines to form an ever-expanding sequence […]
