Make It Up Club 16th Birthday Festival, January 2014

Since 1998, the MIUC has been presenting a weekly concert series of avant garde improvised music and sound performance in Melbourne, and 2014 marks our 16th anniversary! Join us at Bar Open on Tuesday nights in January to celebrate the sublime, brutal, rarefied and cathartic beauty of the contemporary, improvised sonoverse.

Featuring four weeks of adventurous and uncompromising collaborations, which boldly traverse idioms and instrumentations, transcend regional and aesthetic borders, and embody the very possibilities of spontaneous music creation.
