Overview
From the stings of damaged guitars to the fingers of laptop-musicians comes The NOW now: a festival offering experimental, impulsive and improvised music to ears that desire sounds and behaviors not usually found in the glistening world of popular music.
I must be clear however that such a sentiment should not imply that this shiny and choreographed world is not as valid or entertaining as its experimental counterpart, rather I wish to express the rather obvious fact that our ears (and subsequently brains) have great potential to digest and react to a vast and varied spectrum of sound, whether it be ‘popular’ or not.
With this in mind, The NOW now festival brings together a busy three-day schedule in with over 50 musicians to the Blue Mountains, including The Splinter Orchestra, the Norwegian tenor saxophone and trumpet duo Streifenjunko, Quintet Experimenta from Argentina, as well as S.I.M.S Project, who incorporate SMS (Short Messenge Service) into their compositions. For more details and the full program see the website.
