Artist-led, international and delightfully unpredictable, this annual festival of exploratory music is housed in Fremantle’s Victoria Hall, creating a space for virtuosic and “anti-virtuosic” improvisation, forward-thinking club sets and participatory play.

Glacken, place-based sound artist amby downs and flautist Saskia Willinge, alongside trumpeter Uma Volkmer and saxophonist Naoko Uemoto.
