Honey Jeremiah will explore freeform grooves using the creative approach pioneered

by bands like Can and The Necks, where time is no restraint, and harmonic

development occurs in the live moment.

The powerfully driving and dub-infused basslines of Tim Dennis set the foundation for

hypnotic keyboards and treated guitar by Michael Mildren who draws on his experience

playing a live 12-hour synth marathon show. Drummer, Brendan Payne combines the

drum kit with various percussive voices to form a more complex sound, utilising

brushes, sticks, mallets and hands to explore and complement the music while

propelling it on with infectious rhythms

The interaction between these three musicians is real jazz, though the aesthetic is not

confined by any one musical genre, creating a freeform and evolving sonic environment

where the audience can go on an internal reverie or just dance to the groove.

$5 entry cash on the door

FORRÓ LAMPARINA Trio brings the traditional rhythms of northeast Brazil to life, echoing the spirited gatherings of Forró parties. "Lamparina" refers to the kerosene lamp, symbolizing the ambiance of these events held in underdeveloped regions. Experience the authentic essence of Forró under the glow of Lamparina's music.

Amy Lynch - accordion
Maria Lozano - vocals & triangle
Humberto Porto - vocals & zabumba

Forró is traditionally a couple's dance party from northeast of Brazil in which rhythms such as xote, baião, xaxado, coco and arrasta pé are played and danced to. Contemporarily all kinds of couples are welcome as well as dancing alone.

SWEET COCO is a project based in Melbourne formed by Maria Lozano (Spain) on Oboe/Vocals, Marcos Villalta on Electric Guitar (Australia/El Salvador) and Humberto Porto (Brazil) on pandeiro.
The sonorous trio explores the classic pieces of the Brazilian repertoire of Choro, Samba & Bossa Nova by adding their personal taste and merging both musical backgrounds into one.

Choro ("cry" or "lament"), also popularly called chorinho ("little cry" or "little lament"), is an instrumental Brazilian popular music genre which originated in 19th century Rio de Janeiro. Despite its name, the music often has a fast and happy rhythm. It is characterized by virtuosity, improvisation and subtle modulations, and is full of syncopation and counterpoint. Choro is considered the first characteristically Brazilian genre of urban popular music.

AFW + NFSA #74: Light Smith — films by Will Hindle

8pm Tuesday 27 January 2025

The Brunswick Green, 313/315 Sydney Rd, Brunswick

$10 on the door. 16mm projection.

Artist Film Workshop is pleased to present a rare screening of films by Will Hindle (1929–1987), an important yet often overlooked figure in the American avant-garde. While West Coast experimental film is most strongly associated with filmmakers like Bruce Baillie, Robert Nelson, and Pat O’Neill, Hindle’s work played an equally significant role in shaping the distinctive style of that scene. Yet with only eleven completed films, many of which are poorly represented in distribution, his contributions are apparently more spoken of than actually seen. Indeed, the relative scarcity of good exhibition materials has pushed his work toward a kind of mythic obscurity.

Hindle’s films continue to stand out for their inventive use of technique as well as their direct, engaging impact on the viewer. During the 60s, Hindle made himself an optical printer – a feat largely unheard of by his contemporaries. To quote New York’s Light Industry, Hindle ‘...became legendary amongst his contemporaries for both the technical ingenuity of his films, as well as their richly sensuous psychedelism.’ AFW recently located an excellent print of Watersmith in the NFSA collection. This screening provides a rare chance to experience these works as intended: on film, in projection and alive with light!

FFFTCM, 1967, 5 min

Billabong, 1968, 10 min

Chinese Fire Drill, 1968, 24 min

Watersmith, 1969, 32 min
