CROWDS came from all directions to enjoy the third day of MONA FOMA.
Hundreds flocked to the sold-out MOFO Eastern Shore performance at the Rosny Barn last night.
Indian tabla player Bickram Ghosh, who has played with the late George Harrison and Ravi Shankar, took the audience on a wild ride with his drumming combined with electronics and Hindustani vocals.
Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra trombonist Don Bate, tuba player Tim Jones, saxophonist Danny Healy and berimbau player Christine Guidici improvised traditional folk songs.
And the crowd was spooked by the eerie ghost story of a lonely shipwright's bargain with a banshee.
The story featured live drawings by Christopher Downes and a soundtrack by Joshua Santospirito.
MOFO devotees rushed back across the river to catch Brooklyn band Dirty Projectors play their lyrical melodic indie pop songs at MOFO central at PW1.
And many capped off a perfect balmy Hobart evening by taking a magical mystery ride through FAUX MO the after-hours festival club at a secret city location.
Tonight, an 11-piece orchestra will bring a children's novel to life with the sound of instruments including saxophone, violin, synthesizers, percussion, and a vacuum cleaner.
Conductor Ben Walsh said Shaun Tan's book The Arrival, which tells the story of a refugee, had had an immediate impact on him and he wanted to share it with audiences.
"The novel is projected picture by picture, then we add the emotive response of music for a filmic experience," he said.
MONA FOMA curator Brian Ritchie said the festival had so far drawn big crowds that had seen some great performances and there was plenty still to come.
"The morning meditation concerts at the cathedral have been popular. We've had to turn people away," he said.
"People should check out All Fires -- they are one of the best of the local bands."
Australian band Graveyard Train will play last tonight at PW1.
"They are my favourite Australian band, they've got a raw Australian bush sound," Ritchie said.
