Nonsemble To Stage Cinematic Performance At New Globe Theatre

Brisbane-bred classical/art-rock collective Nonsemble are making final preparations to unleash their aural and visual spectacular, Screen Stories, on the local gig-going public, with the renowned septet taking to the New Globe Theatre stage this Friday, November 7, for their showcase of music and the moving image.

Taking over the venue's beloved, vintage cinema room, the stalwart outfit — which boasts an esteemed pedigree featuring some of the city's most virtuosic classically experienced players, including creative core Chris Perren — will present their eagerly awaited sophomore album, Go Seigen vs Fujisawa Kuranosuke, in full (for only the second time ever), with the sublime musical stylings being expertly accompanied by the immersive, rhythmic confluence of Jaymis Loveday's visuals.

In true Nonsemble style, the work is an aurally expansive, half-hour long journey "based on patterns from a 1953 championship game of go, the ancient Japanese board game", the band wrote of the album in a statement. In addition to its complete performance of Go Seigen... , Nonsemble will treat the faithful to an array of other original pieces, such as polyrhythmic audio-visual work BMX, which made a lauded appearance at last year's TEDx conference in Brisbane, as well as a new composition from Big Dead's Cameron Bower, and a minimalistic reworking of Running Up That Hill, by the legendary Kate Bush.

In celebration of the forthcoming gig, Nonsemble have broken from their established mold a little bit by releasing a "chunk" of their impending album as a single, which they've dubbed Go Part 3C. It's available via London-based label Bigo and Twigetti; previous recording Practical Mechanics (2012) is downloadable from the ensemble's Bandcamp.

If you dig that tastiness, tickets for Nonsemble's peformance of Screen Stories, which kicks off at 7pm this Friday, are available now for $15. If you're after more, check out this excerpt from Go Seigen vs Fujisawa Kuranosuke below, and get jazzed for Friday.
