Live performance this Thursday at LongPlay

LongPlay Apr 2017 img

First solo performance of the year, and the last in Melbourne for a couple of months. I’ll be playing a development of my piece for acoustic turntable and live feed projection Overhea[r]d, that I debuted at LongPlay last year.

Joining me will be the final performance of Mark Groves’ Absurd Cosmos Late Nite project. “Groves wearily pursues the oppressively mirthless and red-eyed air of a post-midnight suburban petrol station scene – a stop for coffee, snacks, The Picture magazine, forced conversation and the undead ambience of lo-resolution broadcast chatter, in which this perpetual predawn marinates, night after night. Chosen text and audio are assembled from collected fragments of local talkback, overheard declarations and the endless YouTube comment pit.” –

And rounding out the evening will be Jennifer Callaway and Michale McCosker’s Telephone.

Thursday 27 April 2017, 8:30pm
LongPlay, 318 St Georges Road, North Fitzroy

Quiet Noise VI

quiet-noise-vi

Quiet Noise is an annual house/backyard show that challenges experimental/noise performers to play without amplification. This year we have our first international touring artist.

  • radio cegeste – Sally Ann McIntyre (NZ) harnesses the material of the airwaves to the practices of phonography and more archival forms of sound-collecting, she programmes a micro radio project station (radio cegeste 104.5FM) as a sporadic, mobile, small-radius platform for unstable site-responsive radio art events. http://radiocegeste.blogspot.com.au/
  • Ren Walters & Clinton Green – perform a duo with sheets of metal recently retrieved from the bush north of Mildura.
  • Derek McCormack – solo performance from recent Improv Idol finalist!
  • With acoustic turntable preparations from DJ Stanley Phatmax between acts.

Overhea[r]d video

Here’s some video of my performance with acoustic turntable and live video projection at LongPlay last November. I’ve had this concept in mind for a few years, so it was great to come to grips with the technology and make it happen. I hope to develop it more in future.

January is often ‘video editing’ month for me, so hopefully I’ll have some more video up from activities over the past few months up soon.

CURRENT – Fri 16 Dec 2016

current-2016-flyer

I have performed at many CURRENT events since it began in 2012, and I’m pleased to be a part of this year’s iteration, taking place next Friday (16 December 2016, from 6pm) at Moreland City Band Hall. CURRENT began with the basic premise of creating new trios of improvisers who had never played together previously, and has developed over the years to also include dancers and visual artists. This year, CURRENT returns to its musical roots featuring only instrumentalists, with each trio based around a young up-and-coming drummer. None of us know who we will be playing with, until Ren Walters tells us on the night.
