Overview

The NGV has been hitting it pretty hard recently. Wired for Melbourne Sound showcased local music and gave everyone a backstage pass into the industry, then Melbourne Now was launched and eclipsed everything else in its mammoth wake. What many might not know is that the latter also comprises a series of satellite events, one of which is about to hit the Corner on Wednesday night.

Disruptions is a one-off performance of experimental music by Marco Fusinato and Oren Ambarchi, and laser art by Robin Fox. Fusinato is well known within the local art scene for his "analogue infused guitar noise", and Ambarchi has been dubbed "the undisputed master of the hypnotic drone and blissful bass bomb." We're not exactly sure what that last bit means but it sounds impressive. Robin Fox has also been very busy lately working on Chunky Move's Aorta, and A Small Prometheus which featured in this year's Melbourne Festival.

All together, the show is bound to be an incredibly unique and mesmeric experience. Something akin to the psychedelia of your last bush doof, but without the psychedelic substances that accompanied it.
