Castlemaine's annual local music festival is back for 2012 with a mix of styles and sounds.

ANALOG - music made with natural pitch, articulation and contour

DIGITAL - sounds created by electronic pulses - or created by fingers...

ELECTRIC - vibrations amplified by mapping a signal on to a wider range

ACOUSTIC - carried directly by the air from the instrument to your ear
