Splinter will play at Sydenham International at the closing event for:

AZ Music 1970–72 \ 1973–75 \ …ongoing

an exhibition and performance program that maps some of the key moments and figures primarily in the first stage of the wildly dynamic experimental sound group AZ Music. Presenting archival material and new improvisational performances, the project traces practices located in or around AZ music, drawing lines outward to current and emerging practices that share a commitment to experimentation in sound.

developed in collaboration with Laura Altman, Geoffrey Barnard, Peter Blamey and Greg Schiemer

opening event Saturday 16 May 3-5pm
exhibition 15 May - 6 June

More details soon.
