The NOW now Solo Series

Overview

Prefer your live music raw, unearthed and a little left of centre? Robbie Avenaim and his experimental tunes might be just what the doctor ordered. The musician/composer has been picking apart drum kits and turning them into creative new noise-makers for the past 25 years. With a tireless desire to unleash new sounds into the world, he’s now invented S.A.R.P.S, a semi automatic robotic percussion system and he’s set to show it off, as well as a bunch of other wacky sounds, in the first staging of The NOW now Solo Series.

Held at Surry Hills Library, the series will showcase a string of exploratory solo musicians. Striving to expand our musical education, the series invites artists from all over Australia to participate, as well as the odd international act. And to ensure we really understand what we open our lobes up to, each artist will be offered a Q&A forum with the audience once the set wraps. Musicians will also have the opportunity to perform a second set if they’re feeling up to it. That’s how loose and exploratory it’s going to get.
