Folk, Noise, Electronics, Improvisation – how can radical music help us manifest new possibilities for thinking and imagine new ways of organising community through ritual behaviours, actions and languages? Across two nights, Liquid Architecture and Melbourne Music Week present a program of electronic music genealogies, featuring artists whose works span the 1970s to today and represent multiple generations of Melbourne’s experimental scene.

Warren Burt is a composer, performer, writer, and instrument builder. He came to Australia in 1975 to found the Music Department at La Trobe University and subsequently assisted in the founding of the Clifton Hill Community Music Centre in 1976. Ahead of his performance for Liquid Architecture and Melbourne Music Week Warren discusses how he uses software and algorithms to build instruments and collaborative compositions, his work within community music groups, and his curiosity driven approach to exploring sound.
