“International in its sweep, uncompromising in its substance” - Time Out
Two dozen performers from around the world are given free reign to redefine music. Over three days they coax incredible sounds from all kind of instrument, in every conceivable manner. Performers include the elder statesman of Japanese sound-art Yasunao Tone; mesmeric minimalist legend Charlemagne Palestine; and Norbert Möslang, enigmatic torturer of household electrical goods. Group improvisations, drawing on diverse talents thrown in at the deep end of spontaneity, feature Tony Buck, superlative drummer of Australia’s best export, The Necks; brilliant Belgian string virtuoso Julia Eckhardt; and sensational young American trumpeter Peter Evans. And to surprise ourselves, some players at the very edge of audio arts: Taku Sugimoto, whose guitar playing is so restrained as to
stretch the laws of time; Bob Levene, who uses turntables as audio sculpture; and Helena Gough, who reveals the laptop as a landscape teeming with twittering life.

Take an example from Eve – and Experiment.
