Concert Listings Roundup #44

You can read more about why I'm doing listings here. Long story short: This curated and decidedly non-comprehensive list contains nothin' but shows that I am going to/would go to if I had more time.

Gig of the week:

Emergents IV (feat. Thin Edge New Music Collective / Jason Doell & Germaine Liu) / The Music Gallery 2014-05-15 (Thursday) [more info]

The last Emergents show of the season is being curated by MFS friend Nick Storring and it looks like he's bringing some of the same forward-thinking genre-challenging notions he brings to his own work. Thin Edge New Music Collective is playing a set of new compositions by musicians from outside of the normal "nerw music" world, including Picastro's Liz Hysen, Colin Fisher, Matthew Ramolo (aka Khôra) and Araz Salek. Jason Doell and Germaine Liu are presenting something that "teases the ringing, screeching, rattling and creaking out of usual and unusual sound sources as they manoeuvre through a set of movement scenarios in order to create a path or paths of sonic events." I don't know what that means either — hitting stuff, I presume? — but I'm looking forward to finding out.
