In 2001, on a rainy november sunday afternoon, a performance took place on the Brisbane Powerhouse Turbine Platform. It was a crowded affair, some 600 people turning out for DJ Olive meets I/O3, a performance since released as 'Powerhouse Sessions' (EDRM400). Whilst the actual shape of the series was yet to take form, this event was the genesis for a series of events curated by Lawrence English.

Titled Fabrique, the series ran for eight years and produced 40 events - each celebrating the full breadth of electronic and avant musics. Fabrique presented artists from from Japan, Spain, Slovenia, USA, UK, Belgium, Germany, France, Austria, Italy, Denmark, New Zealand and Australia amongst others.

The event prided itself on creating networks between Australian and international  artists all of whom shared an interest in testing for the very edges of contemporary sound in performance. During its eight years, Fabrique co-presented events with festivals and performance series including Liquid Architecture, Phonoscape, Open Frame, What Is Music?, Impermanent Audio, Puls8 and Sound Polaroids.
