Audible Edge Festival '25: Laugh of Medusa

04 March 2025
Exploratory music and song writing centring the voice, with an international double bill.

The second night of this year's Audible Edge festival of exploratory music features a venue-crawl between three shows across the town of Walyalup. Join us for all three! There’s time between events to grab dinner. 

For this special double bill, we put two astounding vocalists in the historic Fremantle Town Hall and let the space sing out. Casey Moir, playing first, is a multifaceted singer whose command of vocal expression is breathtaking. Working both acoustically and with a roster of effects pedals, Casey’s improvised performances reveal the voice in all of its forms: raw, intricate, brazen, unfettered, inquisitive, subtle, playful, yet serious, may well make your jaw hit the floor. 

Following Casey, local folk weirdo Nika Mo performs a suite of unheard, devastating songs on grand piano. Harking back to the freak-folk tangent of her debut album Cloven Hoof in Honey, this new suite entangles stark piano arrangements and gut-tugging lyrics with radical and pointillistic woodwind contributions from Josten Myburgh (including their debut performance on soprano saxophone). Essentially this boils down to: come have see the two co-curators of Audible Edge play music together and have a cry. 

After we wrap up at the Freo Town Hall, walk with us to PS for the second event of the evening, another double bill featuring the launch of Citadels, Eduardo Cossio’s solo release on Tone List. Grab some dinner on the way and get ready for more wild music!
