Accessibility
The Fremantle Town Hall is wheelchair accessible. There is an accessible bathroom in the space, but we've been informed it is slightly too small for some wheelchairs: a fully accessible bathroom is located in the adjacent venue, the Fremantle Library, which is open until 7pm. The music will consist of voice, saxophone and piano, with some electronics. It may be intense at times, but not particularly percussive or repetitive. The venue is large, but may feel crowded. It will not be well ventilated as the windows and doors will be kept open during the performance. Free earplugs and N95 masks are available for audience members.
The walk between Fremantle Town Hall to the next venue, PS Art Space is approximately 300m and around 4 minutes across even terrain, down High Street and right onto Packenham Street. A group of us will be walking to the venue, so you are welcome to join us.

Details
The second night of Audible Edge features a venue-crawl between three shows across the town of Walyalup. We’d love for you to 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!
