The legendary Dunedin experimental music festival Lines of Flight music festival is set to hit Dunedin again, as part of the 2013 Dunedin Fringe Festival. Over three days in late March the cream of New Zealand’s sonic explorers will be performing to enthusiastic audiences, both from here and overseas.
Highlights include Dunedin stalwart Stephen Kilroy opening the festival with a multi-guitar loop on the Thursday night, Hermione Johnson’s prepared piano virtuosity teaming up with with saxophonist Jeff Henderson later that night, and the hypnotic analogue synth beats of the reclusive Omit. Wellington’s The All Seeing Hand bring their turntable drums and vocal maelstrom to the festival, Dead C members Bruce Russell and Michael Morley (Gate) both perform guitar pieces, 2006 NZ Arts Laureate Alastair Galbraith performs his glass harmonium, and Dunedins finest sci-fi punk band The Futurians finishing things off on Saturday night in joyous fashion.
