Lines of Flight 2015 – Second
Announcement
The legendary Lines of Flight experimental music festival
returns to Dunedin in March as part of the 2015 Dunedin Fringe Festival. It
features sixteen hours of performances, showcasing experimentation across a
wide range of musical genres: from trancelike drones to fiery free jazz, from
delicate electro-acoustics to roaring walls of noise, from cutting edge digital
technology to ingenious homemade instruments.
Following the initial announcement back in December, the full lineup has now been confirmed, with the addition
of two US acts bringing an international flavour to the festival.
Peter
Kolovos is a Los
Angeles-based improvising guitarist who was formerly
a member of the group Open City. Over the past twenty
years he has developed an incredibly physical and dynamic musical language for
the electric guitar.
Two To
Tutu Too are a Baltimore
duo comprising self-described 'sound mechanic' Neil
Feather and NZ ex-pat composer/pianist Rosie
Langebeer. Neil Feather has been working in
this field for over thirty years and is
internationally renowned as an instrument inventor and performer.
The opening night at the Dunedin Public Art
Gallery will include Christchurch electroacoustic group the Aletheia Ensemble and also Stanier Black Five. Her piece
'Oenosthesia' is a multi-sensory performance exploring the synergies between
sound and taste, and was originally created during an artist’s residency in
Southern Italy.
The vibrant Dunedin musical scene is also
strongly represented, with emerging
artists such as Nick Graham, Birdation,
Sonny Carver and Rubbish Film Unit
who will join the other more established names.
Plus the highlights from the first
announcement: Our Love Will Destroy the
World's ecstatic noise, Jeff
Henderson and Hermione Johnson’s superb saxophone and prepared piano duo,
the hypnotic analogue synth beats of the mysterious Omit, improvised psych/rock from Dunedin’s Eye, turntable cut-up mastery
from Wellington’s Alphabethead, a rare performance by the godfathers of free noise A Handful of Dust, featuring Bruce Russell and Alastair Galbraith, and a very rare live
outing by the Sandoz Lab Technicians.
Lines of
Flight has always had
a strong multi-media component and once again film will be an integral part of
many of the sound performances, bringing a third element to the experience.
