La Musica

Clinton Green (turntables, remote-activated percussion)

Michiko Moriti (piano)

“After moving to Australia, I discovered the joy of composition. People, places and feelings inspire me to paint with sound.” Japanese pianist Michiko Morita is a wonderful musician whose beautiful ‘sound-pictures’ are a joy to hear – as are her modest explanations of her pieces. After a few years break due to injury, we’re thrilled to welcome Michiko back to Musica for a solo set.

Clinton Green joins us for a solo set of turntable-based sounds. He makes something akin to music. Clinton has been active in Australian experimental music since the 1990s as a recording and performing artist, curator, facilitator, writer and researcher. He has worked with unconventional approaches to guitars, turntables and found… objects as tools for new forms of musical expression. He also works with dancers, theatre and performance artists in improvised collaborative situations. For this performance, Clinton will present a multiple turntable and remote-activated percussion spatial piece that will bathe the audience in the microscopic sonic details of shattered vinyl, melted flexidiscs, stressed turntable mechanisms and the secret aural lives of objects.

GAIP ‘gather’

GAIP in conjunction with TESTING GROUNDS presents gather  a 24 hour performance event on May 14/15, 2016 at Testing Grounds, 1 – 23 City Road, Southbank, Saturday 6:00 pm. until Sunday 6:00 pm.

From the GAIP website:

gather will function, in part, as a closing ceremony, marking the end of a chapter for Testing Grounds (which will undergo a major upgrade over winter).

There will be no programmed performances, instead, spontaneous, adhoc, on-the-spot collaborations, and an improvisational approach to performance of any material will be the predominant mode of relation, forming a constantly negotiated improvisational ecology.

Two unique performances I’m involved in are coming up in the next week:

un·habited space 

A durational work by Ren Walters & Carmen Chan 

With guest artists: Clinton Green, Dur-é Dara, Juana Beltrán, Janette Hoe and Michael McNab 

@ Conduit Arts 83 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy 

4-5 Apr: 11am-11pm 

6 Apr: 6am-6pm 

Ren & Carmen say: 

Over three days, we will create a conversational space within the walls of Conduit Arts through performance art. We will explore the common boundaries of public and private domains as artists, and attempt to articulate the shift of energy that is an integral part of the processes of our respective artistic practices. 

We will interact with each other; with our hosts; with our guest artists; and with anyone who enters the space. 

I will join them at 6am on Wednesday 8 April for a dawn performance at Conduit. 

Entry by donation.

Do You See What I Hear?

Carmen Chan’s multi-disciplinary piece continues to reinvent itself with different scenarios and artists. On this occasion, I will join Carmen and Llara Goodall to perform on the footpath in Chapel Street, Prahran, as part of the Chapel Street Art

Town festival. If you’re in the area, we’ll be situated near the corner of High Street – wander by and have a chat with us about what you think it might mean to be a musical thinker…
