SoundOut 2017
This is the 8th year of the annual SoundOut
festival, and in 2017 we will bring to you the continuation of the
incredible explorative sonic arts event. This is the International Free Improvisational, Free Jazz and Experimental Music
festival to will uplift tired ears, explore the unknown, see within the
fabric of sound, unravel the threads of normative musical praxis, and question
sonic hegemonies. With artists from Australia, Austria, Brazil, France, and
Norway that will combine, mix, cross-fertilize, and move sound mountains to
inspire inquiring ears.

The 2017 group of Artists has never gathered before
and never will again in the same configuration, but they are all involved in an
international dialogue that is essential to the unfolding of new music structures
and what it means to be human in the 21st Century. Come, see and hear the new
music evolve.
SoundOut 2017 is very grateful for the continued
generous support from SoundOut and its friends, and the volunteers that help
with the festival. Special gratitude goes to the Drill Hall Gallery and Staff
for their consistent friendship, generosity and support; as well as Better
Music in Canberra for the generous help with equipment. The Artists would like
to thank their respective governments for support: The Norwegian Government,
the Austrian Embassy; and The French Government and Embassy.
Due to unforseen circumstances Jess Green has had to cancel her participation in this years festival but we have replaced her with the fine young guitarist Rhys Mottley who continues his voyage into experimentation! Also alas very suddenly Mia Zabelka is unable to make it to SoundOut due to death in the family and we wish her well and our heartfelt condolences.
We are also very greatful to Herbal International records and Goh Lee Kwang for supporting SoundOut.
