Audio Foundation Live Events Return In June - A Dog With No Hat

There's no way a pesky global pandemic would put a stop to the Audio Foundation's ongoing mission of spreading the good word about boundary-pushing sounds from throughout Aotearoa. Hard at work during Level 4 lockdown, the team are at last reopening the doors to their Tāmaki Makaurau subterranean venue space in mid-June, kicking off proceedings with A Dog with No Hat – a concert of improvised music featuring Hermione Johnson on prepared piano, Ro Rushton-Green on saxophones / violin and aptly named percussionist Drummy. While uncertainty will be the only musical rule of thumb at this event, you can bet there'll be a whole lot more exciting announcements to come from the experimental flag bearers. Bookings for this limited capacity event are essential, grab your tickets right here...

Press release:

The Audio Foundation springs back into action with a concert of improvised music performed by Hermione Johnson on prepared-piano, Ro Rushton-Green on saxophones and violin and Drummy on circular wooden shapes covered with synthetic skin. The trio engage in freely improvised music, an ancient tradition of spontaneous sound composition which challenges both musicians and audience to abandon anything expected, familiar, learned or routine and embrace unknowingness and unncertainty.
