In 2018 Australia’s post-everything imprint Room40 presents Open Frame across two-evenings focused on senior artists and emerging voices exploring transcendent music. This year Open Frame meditates on states of sonic intensity that push to the very edges of practice and performance.

‘This year Open Frame meditates on states of sonic intensity.  Each artist is a study of intensities; the intense beauty of William Basinski, the intense transcendence of Charlemagne Palestine, the intense performance approaches of Pan Daijing, the intense focus of Eliane Radigue’s compositions, the list goes on and on. This is music that reaches deep inside us and activates a sense of being which is beyond the moment of encounter. A chance for deep and lingering sonic affect.’
– Lawrence English, Curator
