Tune in to outrageous dimensions of audible activity!

Audio Foundation is very excited and proud to present the Now! Here! Festival  - a three-day celebration with New Zealand / Aotearoa's inventive and accomplished sound artists and musicians championing the experimental and avant-garde in all its multitudinous, intriguing and unpredictable forms.

Now! Here! Festival features a range of emerging and established sound artists contributing to Erewhon Calling, a new publication surveying the vital experimental music scene in NZ to be launched on the opening night.
