The Sound of Failure
is
sound art festival based in Sydney, begun in 2007, that
explores notions of organised and indeterminate music/sound/noise as
conceived
and experienced in this, our post-digital era. It is both an inclusive
and
critical exploration of a broad spectrum of audio
experience that includes everything from
experimental cabaret, to
granular synthesis-derived microsound. This year, the Sound of Failure is a multi-sited
event centred around the main performance night at the Factory Theatre
in
Enmore, which will include some big names and some exciting emerging
performers.

Reverse Garbage has, for the last 30

can creatively do with discards and offcuts that would otherwise be
condemned to
landfill. Applying the same principle to sound making, these artists
have
constructed audio installations from junk or using principles of reuse
(which will be interspersed amongst the other
'junk').
