Melbourne International Biennale of Exploratory Music

This Australian festival is currently underway.

Walls will unleash his distinctly physical brand of dangerous cacophony in collaboration with similarly embodied American sound-artist Daniel Menche at the Corner Hotel in Richmond on Tuesday night. He is just one of the 50-plus Australian and international artists to perform at the inaugural Melbourne International Biennale of Exploratory Music, which opened last night at the Tote and will take place across various inner-Melbourne venues such as the Corner, the Toff in Town and the ABC Iwaki Auditorium until Wednesday.

Billed as an “exploration of new musical possibilities”, the event encompasses forms as divergent as Walls’ and Menche’s noise explorations, improvisation, composition, electronica, free jazz, contemporary classical and digitised audio-visual works. It’s far from your average music festival.
