Audible Edge is a festival of exploratory music presented by Tone List. It's geared towards exploring the marginal, experimental, and not-normal. It happens yearly in Boorloo and Walyalup, on Whadjuk Noongar land. In 2024, it begins at sunrise on April 26, and ends at moonrise on April 28, with ten events at different venues throughout the weekend.
Since 2017, Audible Edge has platformed exploratory music in Boorloo and strengthened the ties connecting us to the scene globally. We’ve persisted through COVID disruptions, taking on many new shapes and forms in the process. This year, we're excited to return to our roots: three days of back-to-back events, packed with great (weird) music.
Audible Edge celebrates play, freak energy, silliness, ephemerality and “getting stuck into it”. We see these as meaningful ways of engaging with new experiences (it's not all chin-scratching seriousness). We love local, emergent, queer and contingent projects. We love straight-faced experimentation rubbing shoulders with unhinged wildness (or when you can’t tell which is which!). We strive to make accessible contexts to appreciate all of this. We want to share the radical potency of our community, and invite friends from distant lands and waters to be a part of it too.
Our program is full of wild and weird high-contrast bookings. Sometimes they contain contradictory approaches or unresolved tensions. We invite any and all responses to this. We find Audible Edge is best when listeners, hosts and makers all share in the messy process of 'making sense'. (Whatever that even means.)
Audible Edge 2024 also features a Night School: a pre-festival program of weekly workshops. The Night School explores how we might write our own stories, build our own platforms, and listen better. A local, interstate or international guest facilitates each session. It runs from March 24 to April 21 (and isn’t always at night).
Audible Edge received an Art Music State Luminary Award in 2023 from APRA AMCOS and the Australian Music Centre. This recognised five years of contributions to the creative music culture of this side of the continent. It has received 4.5 and 5 star reviews in Limelight Magazine, and coverage by various other publications.
Accessibility:
As a whole, Audible Edge is entirely wheelchair accessible and contains no use of strobes or fast flashing lights. It includes some events which are alcohol-free and some which are disability-led “crip hangout spaces”. Detailed accessibility notes for each event can be found on the festival website. We also have an accessibility form that can be used to make requests for AUSLAN interpreters, accessible taxi transfers to and from events, and other specific provisions. This can be found at https://ae.tonelist.com.au/accessibility.
Acknowledgments:
Audible Edge is proudly supported by the Western Australian government through the Department of Local Government, Sports and Cultural Industries, the Australian Cultural Fund and the Goethe Institut.
Audible Edge’s venue and presenting partners are Cool Change Contemporary, Goolugatup Heathcote, WA Museum Boola Bardip, The Flaming Galah, Pneumatic, Portal Tapes, PS Art Space, The Bird, the State Library of Western Australia, Astral Weeks and Local and Aesthetic.
The Audible Edge Night School is presented in partnership with the State Library of Western Australia, Mystery & Wonder Records, AvantWhatever, and Sound Exploration Fremantle.
Tone List is a Boorloo-based label for exploratory music, based on Whadjuk Noongar boodja. We acknowledge boodja and pay respects to custodians and elders past, present & emerging.
