Alleluya Noise Event
An exploration of sound beyond the threshold performing...
Empirical Orchestra
the shimsaw ensemble
Empirical is a slowly changing collection of sound makers and instruments circled around the shimsaw - a stretched amplified steel band. It has been happening for longer than founder Marcel Bear's engineering career. For the first time in Empirical's rich history, a group has been put together which will feature each of the unique musical inventions, the shimsaw, to be played simultaneously in one beautiful, multi textured performance.
The New Zealand Music Group
freedom of shallow waters anthem
An expression of one of New Zealand's indigenous musical milestones. The New Zealand Music group is a collective of musical explorers dedicated to paying tribute to the history and the future of NZ experimental music. For this event they will be stretching their skin over the audience to catch the vibrations of their thoughts in one instantaneous sonic document.

three short plays by Gertrude Stein

Identity (I am I because my little dog knows me) - a philosophical discussion with many flying dogs; What Happened - 1930s party chaos; and Ladies Voices - on the bar.
Gertrude Stein cubist personality Paris influenced by massive shifts in science and art changed forever our perception of language.

The Moving Image Centre (MIC)
Late Night Choreography presents experimental dance in short works. It challenges its audience to perceive dance and performance in surprising new ways. Dance, multi-media, music and visual art co-exist in a harmonious cacophony of paradoxical analogies set amidst the underground ambience of Galatos. Provocative, revolutionary, hilarious, painfully real - LNC is an event like no other.
