11 days of sonic delight throughout Perth ended on Sunday 26 Sept with the performance of Residual by Peter Knight and Dung Nguyen. 16 concerts, a 3 day conference, 2 surround sound events, university workshops and an installation spanning the whole event - Totally Huge served up another biennial Feast. The wonderfully theatrical and transporting soundworld created by Marina Rosenfeld with Decibel and the Teenage Lontano chior at the Midland Railway Workshops on the final Saturday epitomised the essence of the Festival ( read a review ). Much of the Festival was recorded by ABC FM for broadcast on New Music Uplate - go there for streaming listening and future broadcasts. And go to RealTime for reviews and interviews across the whole Festival. Tura New Music celebrates all the artists who gave so generously to the Festival and thanks all of the Festival supporters who made it all possible. 

RealTime will be on-site at the upcoming Totally Huge New Music Festival. Gail Priest will be joined by local writers Sam Gillies and Henry Andersen, delivering daily reviews of concerts, installations and events across the festival.
