MIBEM STARTS in 2 WEEKS!

MIBEM is a six-day exploration of new musical possibilities taking place in various Melbourne music venues from the Iwaki Auditorium to The Tote, from March 28th to April 2nd 2008. The line-up of the inaugural MIBEM (Melbourne International Biennale of Exploratory Music) features an expansive variety of contemporary music forms including improvisation, audio-visual works, composition, electronica, free jazz, noise rock and contemporary classical music. Curated by noted local artists/composers, Anthony Pateras and Robin Fox, the Biennale will bring over 50 international and Australian musicians from the cutting and far edges of contemporary music together for a series of inspired and boundary-expanding sonic explorations.
