‘This year Open Frame meditates on states of sonic intensity.  Each artist is a study of intensities; the intense beauty of William Basinski, the intense transcendence of Charlemagne Palestine, the intense performance approaches of Pan Daijing, the intense focus of Eliane Radigue’s compositions, the list goes on and on. This is music that reaches deep inside us and activates a sense of being which is beyond the moment of encounter. A chance for deep and lingering sonic affect.’

– Lawrence English, Curator

Featured non-Australian music: Eliane Radique, Charlemagne Palestine, Pan Daijing, Drew McDowall, William Basinski, Werner Dafeldecker, Valerio Tricoli
