Future Archaeology: Musical Impetuses from Future Timelines

  • Sydney Conservatorium of Music 1 Conservatorium Road Sydney, NSW, 2000 Australia (map)

Last year I, Solomon Frank of the year 2018, began receiving emails from people and beings at different points in the future. 

They instructed me to complete various artistic and musical acts. These acts are, in our present time, useless if not entertaining but their value to my emailers from the future is immense. I am beholden to these haunting communiques that warn of a grim future and these inter-temporal messengers' desperation has inspired action in the present day. 

This event is a collection of these musical acts. Come to experience cautionary music from the future.

This event will feature Ensemmble Onsombl, Will Hansen, Noam Yaffe, Angus Davison, Niki Johnson and Josephine Macken.
