SoundOut festival 2017
Donation protected
SoundOut is an annual International festival of Free improvisation, Free Jazz and Experimental Musics + held in Canberra. It is now nudging it’s 8th year as one of the gateway exploratory music-art events in Australia. It provides a much-needed avenue for brilliant creative musical endeavors from around the world and Australia. We see our role as fostering continued creative collaborations between some of the best Artists, the world has to offer, and our own brilliant Australian artists and showcasing these to the community. In 2017 we have over 20 Artists from Australia, Austria, Brazil, Denmark, France, and Norway that will combine, cross-fertilize, and move sound mountains to uplift your ears and replenish the mind during the 2 day event, which spans 18 hrs of music, over 22 sets. See link below to web blog for further info:

We need to remain strong in our resolve to continue the festival as it is vital part of of the Australian cultural landscape otherwise we face becoming an “endangered cultural species”.
We are running this Gofundme campaign to raise desperately needed funds to cover costs of Artist fees, some travel, accommodation, food, and production and advertising costs.
SoundOut will be hosted on the 4th -5th of February 2017 and thus we are endeavoring to raise the funds by late January to be ensured of a successful festival.
Your generous support will mean the difference between survival and closure of the festival and cannot be underestimated. It would help us through another year as we try to ensure greater sustainability. It also means that artists have the opportunity to be heard and supported in a positive fruitful artistic environment, to showcase their skill and innovation to the broader community and be heard by their peers from around the world.
On a personal level this support would mean the absolute world to me. I have been director/producer/curator of this festival for 8 years and though we have occasionally been lucky with funding we have not been that fortunate in the last couple of years. I would personally fund the festival but having been retrenched from employment over a year ago and being in the second half of life, employment opportunities are scarce or only casual and thus it would take a HUGE weight off my shoulders to be able to fund this festival without being put into debt.
