OPENING NIGHT PERFOMANCES: Dale Chapman, Marco Cher-gibard, Rodney Cooper, Mark Groves & Sharryn Koppins (Dick Threats), Vijay Thillaimuthu.

Experimental sound is a particular genre of music that is elusive to many; it is a genre where people explore sounds outside general rules of composition and assembly to create an unaccustomed type of music. This exhibition offers a discourse of experimental sounds via different forms of media incorporating sculpture, installation and film and is to challenge traditional sensibilities as to what quantifies as music.
