Here is the latest press release, with full lineups -
March 2017 sees the return of Lines of Flight. The latest installment of the biennial Dunedin experimental music festival will feature four shows over three days and a wonderfully diverse selection of sonic practitioners from Aotearoa and beyond.
The 2017 lineup is especially notable for the many and varied approaches to musical experimentation, operating across, around and through the full range of established genres.
Highlights include outstanding French improviser and electroacoustic composer Jèrôme Noetinger, visually spectacular Wellington ‘future primitive’ funksters Orchestra of Spheres, Canadian electronic artist Blankets, Dunedin seismic rock quartet BYG (Alastair Galbraith/Robbie Yeats/Mick elBorra...do/Reg Norris) and Christchurch’s Teen Haters, purveyors of achingly beautiful guitar/cello drones.
Hermione Johnson returns with her wonderful prepared piano, both solo and in the duo Drorgan with percussionist Ben Holmes. Free-jazz saxophonist extraordinaire Jeff Henderson also makes a welcome return. Auckland’s Rachel Shearer brings her textural soundscapes to the festival, Christchurch free-noise tradesman Bruce Russell performs solo, and Dunedin’s Eye add their improvised psych/rock.
This Lines of Flight will be the tenth and the Friday night show will be held in the recently re-opened Athenaeum theatre, the venue for the very first festival in the year 2000. As in the past, many of the musical performances will also include projected experimental films, bringing another audio-visual element to the whole experience.
Tickets are available from the Dunedin Fringe Festival website.
