This SUNDAY the 15th of January.....
beautiful and intriguing music by....
Sam Hamilton (Auckland)
Sitting free in the shallow waters of borderline music,demanding rigidly
defined areas of doubt and uncertainty within music. "hey dickhead, your
guitar is out of tune!" From nownow description "Auckland based sound
artist, organiser and basic font of enthusiasm. Sam is busy young man doing
what all busy young men should be doing - promoting and making creative,
disturbing, and ingenious music." Groups and collaborations include The New
Zealand Music Group, Instrument Repair Trio, Sci Hi, Electronic Cowboys of
Mass Destruction, Damo Sazuki Group, Tall Dwarfs, and too many more to
mention. Sam also organises a plethora of events in Auckland such as the
Alleluya Noise Festival, Tumbling Strain Series, Borderline music club, etc.
When we asked him what he would be playing on tour he said "feedback stuff
through malfunctioning gear".

The Lost Domain (Brisbane) perform to the classic surrealist masterpiece The
Cage (1947)
The lost domain was formed in 1990 - albeit serving their apprenticeship
under two other names - and has gradually transformed their home territory
from that of a noisy stringband...to encompass oral storytelling, free-form
rock'n'roll, and drone and jazz-based improv styles which still, however,
remain closely-linked to the "common stock" nineteenth century rural musics
which originally inspired the group's formation. But still...what we do is
wing it, and we're never sure where we'll touch down. On the other hand,
long experience in this sort of thing pays off...so, you can be pretty sure
you'll enjoy the ride...should you take your chance in the lost domain.
The Cage Silent; 28 minutes 1947 USA
Directed by Sydney Peterson
Surrealist film in three sections: a tormented artist experiences visions
and loses an eyeball; the point of view of the eyeball rolling on the floor
involving many visual or absurd associations; and the eyeball's escape into
the streets of San Francisco pursued by both halves of the artist's split
personality and others who run forwards while all around them moves
backwards. The eyeball's view is filmed in anamorphic and various trick
effects are used throughout.

a special solo performance by Daiji Igarashi (Hiroshima) Since arriving in
Brisbane, Daiji has stunned and confused audiences with his uncompromising
music performed on various instruments, and in groups such as oil logic and
gyanism. Daiji seems to have a direct line into some otherworldly strata. In
solo mode, expect an undilluted and unclassifiable blast.
