> After a hiatus in 2007 the notorious ‘What is Music?’ festival  
> returns in 2008 with what promises to be an experimental music  
> spectacular at the Carriageworks in Sydney this April the 12th. The  
> festival has developed a reputation over the last ten years for  
> presenting the most cutting edge and often outrageous experiments  
> in music making and sound culture from across the globe and around  
> the country. This year, the festival is presenting all homegrown  
> talent with a focus on large scale new instrument design and  
> modification as well as the usual presentation of sonic extremes.
>
> Featuring in the Carriageworks foyer will be Miles Van Dorsen’s  
> ‘Feuerwasser’, a towering plume of flame, steam and sound that  
> emanates from a body of water. Van Dorsen pushes our understanding  
> of day-to-day physics challenging us to reconsider what is  
> possible. From Palermo Valerio Tricoli is one of the leading  
> musicians in the new Italian music scene. His compositions bridge  
> musique concrete and conceptual forms of sound.
>
> Also featuring will be the Sydney premiere of Robin Fox’s double  
> laser synaesthetic sound and light performance. Fox envelopes the  
> audience in impossible cones and lines of light all generated by  
> audio signal so that what you see is literally what you hear. Also  
> representing the sculptural aspect of the event will be Robbie  
> Avenaim, co-founder of the long running festival and organizer of  
> the 2008 event. His current work involves the deployment of  
> multiple robotic bass drum pedals attached to various surfaces  
> creating a maelstrom of polyrhythmic sound textures. Also, Dale  
> Gorfinkle’s remarkable extensions of the humble vibraphone have  
> become sculptural works in their own right! These innovators  
> represent the spirit of innovation and exploration that is central  
> to the strength of Australia’s experimental music community.
>
> Assaulting the full range of the sonic spectrum will be Cor Fuhler  
> (from Amsterdam but an honorary Australian) who will be joined by  
> the legendary Chris Abrahams (the necks) both there sublime use of  
> objects within the piano has to be heard to be believed also  
> performing is Oren Ambarchi (the other co-founder of What is  
> Music?) who’s attention to bass frequencies and ability to sculpt  
> sonic mass is legendary worldwide, Marco Fusinato who brings the  
> visual art perspective to his unique approach to sonic forms and  
> materials and the exciting Sydney premiere of the ‘Maxximal  
> Paterrorist’ duo consisting of Anthony Pateras on piano and Max  
> Kohane on grindcore drumkit!

> WHATISMUSIC? PRESENTS A NIGHT OF EXTREME POP
> at the HOPETOUN HOTEL
> 13th April 2008
> 7pm
>
> Featuring:
> THE MENSTRUATION SISTERS -
> Menstruation Sisters are more of a natural phenomenon than a  
> musical group. Owing more to the sound of ice melting and eggs  
> hatching than strummed guitars and
> pounded drums, the Sisters keep one ear on the ground and the other  
> towards the atmosphere. Rather than working within the lines of  
> modern rhythm and structure, they revert towards a primal  
> direction, cutting off the fat and oozing forth only the most  
> natural and unfettered sounds. Naturally, such a technique can be  
> unsettling, as it's not something most humans are interested to  
> hear, or have heard since upright-walking became a viable mode of  
> transportation. This is music for those who kill their own food.

> POLETOPRA (from melbourne) featuring Anthony Pateras and Marco  
> Fusinato Two of Melbournes best sound artists join forces.
