Programme of Events

There is something solid yet still fresh about the number 7. In the world of New Music this combination is hard to achieve. The fact that Perth has its own celebration of the new in art musics and that it will see its 7th incarnation in 2005 is cause for celebration in its own right. Festivals are about exposing, bringing together, interacting, entertaining, provoking, humouring, juxtaposing and integrating - THNMF 05 has all of this and more. With the inaugural conference the Festival takes that extra step in creating a public conversation about the philosophies, technologies and possibilities of new music in the new century. Radiating out from the conference is a truly eclectic program taking those that are willing on a unique and captivating sonic journey.
