New Primitive
Making sounds that are much more soothing to the ear than ye olde plastic binne, MAAP Republic are hosting the first in a series of events for the New Primitive Festival (curated by SPEC).
Overview
There’s a “busker” (I use the term lightly) that seems to be wherever I go lately: at busy intersections on George Street, in front of Borders (R.I.P.), prowling Suncorp Stadium whenever a game’s on. What does he do? He hits plastic buckets, bins, and the pavement in an attempt to make some kind of music. He is easily the worst busker/performer in Brisbane at the moment (yes, even worse than the man with the paper bag on his head). And he just doesn’t go away.
Wait, why am I talking about this dude again? Oh, because there’s an alternative to this. MAAP Republic are hosting the first in a series of events for the New Primitive Festival (curated by SPEC) – a night of actual music featuring hand-made instruments and experimental sounds from Australia and Indonesia. Making sounds that are much more soothing to the ear than ye olde plastic binne, artists showcasing on the night include Henry Mills (Bris), Alrey Batol (Bris), Wukir Suryadi & Rully Shabar (Indo) and XinO [Katie Martain] (Bris).
