Open Frame returns to Brisbane Powerhouses with its most ambitious line-up yet, ready to push the boundaries of sonic expression.

On Thursday July 18, Open Frame will kick off with a triple bill, uniting an evocative triad of artists – Keiji Haino, Eiko Ishibashi and Jim O’Rourke whilst on an incredible line-up of artists are putting on a free show featuring the likes of the godfather of American electronic music Carl Stone, fusion of ancient and contemporary oral tradition Hand to Earth, ambient composer of oceanic works Chihei Hatakeyama, and Kenyan-born experimental artist and sound explorer Nyokabi Kariũki. Then, get ready for “a quiet revolt against madness” on Saturday with a show from Joep Beving. The festival will be closed with a final show on from the matriarch of punk, Kim Gordon. The Sonic Youth alum returns to the Powerhouse for her latest tour, The Collective.

Alongside its live-event roster, Open Frame has joined forces with Brisbane Powerhouse’s Dendy Cinema to screen iconic works of music cinema – Ryuichi Sakamoto – Opus and 1991: The Year Punk Broke.
