Kick Out The Jams: Chronophonium

10:22 am on 19 February 2016

Interviews and live sets from the New Zealand music underground. This week we head to DIY music festival Chronophonium.

Chronophonium is a not-for-profit festival, which this year ran at Lake Ngatu over Waitangi weekend.

The collective behind it say their vision is to encourage people to “forget their capitalist conditioning” and to promote a community where “everyone contributes either by paying for a ticket, volunteering, providing art or playing music”.

Three stages were curated by different Auckland music collectives and a fourth “free stage” was setup for bands who were attending, but couldn’t make the official line-up.

We caught up with some of the organisers, volunteers, musicians and punters to talk about what makes Chronophonium different to other festivals.
