Flat-e and My Secret Heart

Horse Bazaar host UK-based digital media artist Robin McNicholas as part of their The Night Porter: Late Night Visuals series. A member of Flat-e collective, Robin McNicholas presents music composed by Warp artist Mira Calix and visuals from My Secret Heart, an award-winning installation inspired by Allegri’s 17th-century choral work Miserere Mei, a piece so protected by the Vatican that they put an embargo on it. Commissioned by Streetwise Opera, My Secret Heart explores ideas of secrecy and concealment in performances by over 100 Streetwise Opera participants

Flat-e are a digital media collective based in London. They have created animations and visuals for Warp Records, music videos for Junior Boys and indie rock band The Cribs, and their collaboration with the London Sinfonietta was described as “The beginnings of a quiet music revolution”. Their recent work includes animation and visual FX for feature films including Bunny and the Bull, from the mind of The Mighty Boosh director Paul King

This Wednesday the 30th of June @ Stutter...

• TETUZI AKIYAMA(JP)
  ''Akiyama specializes in creating music with elements of both primitivism and realism by connecting his own aspirations, in a minimal and straightforward way, to the special instrumental qualities of the guitar. Sometimes delicately and sometimes boldly, he controls sound volumes ranging from micro to macro, in an attempt to convert the body into an electronic entity.''

• CANDLESNUFFER / SEAN BAXTER w/ special guest
  ''The reprise of a long distance collaboration of long standing, this trio first performed in the mid nineties and has only been able to perform in Australia very rarely over the ensuing years. Comprising 3 innovators in the fields of free improvisation, modern concrete, and brutal, abstracted noise, THz (as they have been called) create an uncompromisingly visceral experience in contemporary sonic possibilities.''

• CANDIED LIMBS(WA)
  ''Candied Limbs is the free improv duo of Lindsay Vickery on reeds and computer processing and Cat Hope on noise bass and vocals. Non idiomatic improv bordering noise and avant jazz.''

• SHIT TO THE SPIRIT
  ''Erkki Veltheim dusts off the gas mask and resurrects the violin of apocalypse in a one-man meta-metal band.''

• CURED PINK(QLD)
  “Cured Pink is a discomposed mess of underdeveloped ideas, glorifying civil sickness before finding anything that actually sounds good. Self-releasing hand-made material out of Brisbane for the last few years, the mess, usually summed as ''psychotic performance art'', ''post-industrial noise bliss'' or ''bored at 3am'', appears to have its strengths in the alienation of pub owners, the forcing of early closures and alienation of most band members. Maybe it is just irritating”.

• DJ DEFENESTRATION
  (Lloyd Honeybrook / Fucked) - ''Hitting it to you in the most eloquent manner. Has collaborated in the past with DJ Kevorkian. What good is a DJ who absolutely hates music??''

Liquid Architecture BENDIGO Sunday 27th June 8pm Old Fire Station View St

(Note Melbourne Liquid Architecture events don't have Lionel Marchetti solo, nor do they feature Golden Fur, so come visit Bendigo for this one as well as going to the Melbourne shows)

Lionel Marchetti

Hugely influenced by the pioneer of musique concrète, Pierre Schaffer, French composer Lionel Marchetti is one of the major figures of musique concrète today. He has been involved with the Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM) in Paris since 1993, and also specialises in improvisation using microphones and loudspeakers. He collaborates extensively with other artists including Jérôme Noetinger and the multi-discipline group Le Cube. His Bendigo performance will be his only solo performance in the current Liquid Architecture tour (other LA performances are with Yôko Higashi. performer, vocalist, Butoh dancer and choreographer.)

Twelve Dog Cycle

Alice Hui-Sheng Chang (Taiwan) and Nigel Brown (Australia) pair the breathing limitations of human voice and piano accordion, extending the voice through extreme unconventional technique and the accordion’s acoustic properties through preparations, extended techniques and live electronic manipulation. They have performed in festivals in East Asia, Europe and Australia http://www.myspace.com/12dogcycle http://www.huishengchang.com

Golden Fur

New Music trio comprising Samuel Dunscombe (clarinet/laptop) Judith Hamann (violoncello) and James Rushford (keyboard/viola), who focus on obscure contemporary and 20th century music, as well as improvised performance. In a short time they have built up quite a reputation with works commisioned from artists such as Anthony Pateras, Marco Fusinato and Cat Hope. They are currently completing a European concert tour.

Liquid Architecture CASTLEMAINE Saturday 26th June 8pm ICU 1 Halford St

KK Null is an electro-acoustic music composer/performer, as well as mastermind of Japanese avant-garde rock band ZENI GEVA. He has collaborated extensively with artists as diverse as John Zorn, Jon Rose, Phil Samartzis, Matmos & Zbigniew Karkowski. In recent years KK Null has concentrated his efforts on his solo & collaborative recordings, exploring the outer territories of electronica, creating intense clashing waves of noise, structured electro-acoustic ambience, broken down rhythmics, scattered pitch sculptures and droning isolationist material, which could be described as “cosmic noise maximal/minimalism”. 　http://www.kknull.com

Sean Baxter is an Australian improvising musician interested in extreme music forms and his music practice ranges from extreme metal and punishing noise to free jazz and the Modernist abstraction of the classical avant garde. He focuses on the use of extended techniques applied to the conventional drum kit, utilising an arsenal of metallic junk and other percussive detritus.　 He performs regularly with the internationally renowned Pateras/Baxter/Brown trio, the free-jazz-grind quartet, Embers, and in frequent collaborative and solo incarnations.　He’s a founding member of Australian classic groups Bucketrider, Lazy and Western Grey. http://www.myspace.com/seanbaxterimprov

Snawklor grew out of a long running collaboration between Nathan Gray and Dylan Martorell, beginning as a duo that made electro-acoustic work in galleries. Over a decade of experimentation and adjustment – from delicate sound installation to lap top skiddery to synth and guitar noise – othey have now moved in a new direction　with the addition of Duncan Blachford on live drums.　 “The environments we choose to play in will naturally dictate the music Snawklor will play in the future. Water music, cave music, tram music, garden music, zoo music, dog beach music, airport music, hospital music, graveyard music, sewerage plant music, wetlands music, kindergarten music.” So now we’ll get ICU music. http://snawklor.blogspot.com

Marco Cher-GIbbard & Rosalind Hall - Loop Bar - 17 June 2010

Marco Cher-Gibbard & Rosalind Hall - waves and washes of colour and sound.

Mitchell Brennan - interwoven sonics and static.

Wetpatch - ping-pong circuitry melt.

Microvom - occult chants, imagery and the divine intervention of Gaia.

Soulio/Lee - time stretches over a scorched earth.

Loop Bar 23 Meyers Place, Melbourne 3000.

Starts at 8pm $6AUD entry.

Reverse engineering is a process of deconstruction whereby the function and operation of an object or mechanical system is observed and analyzed in order to construct a new piece of technology which extends the capabilities of the original object without replicating it. One of the most interesting applications of reverse engineering is practiced by individuals living in the developing world in which the principles and functions of Western technology are recreated or retooled using found materials in response to conditions of scarcity in order to meet basic everyday needs.

In these terms, we see the process of reverse engineering as primarily a form of inter-cultural exchange and we use it figuratively and metaphorically as a model for the artistic exchange we aim to facilitate through this exhibition. Using this as a theoretical framework, we propose to place the Australian, Korean and Thai artists in the role of reverse engineers of eachothers cultures in order to make work which looks at a localized cultural form, musical instrument, or technology and exploits the possibilities of their structure and function to generate new objects.

The opening night will feature a musical performance by the artists using the home made instruments and sound system created for the exhibition.

Performances will include Jim Denley on wind instruments, Dale Gorfinkel with vibraphone and home made instruments built from recycled materials and Ross Bolleter playing ruined pianos. Alan Lamb will set up some of his infinite music machines, Matt Chaumont will contribute a large scale installation producing sub-bass frequencies you feel rather than hear and Philip Samartzis will present recordings from his recent trip to Antarctica. Meanwhile, Anthony Magen will lead the development of a program of soundwalks that visitors will be able to take around the property.

Punters are invited to experience their Semantic Clutter on a first-hand basis via a range of openhouse events.

BRANDEN W. JOSEPH
The Roh and the Cooked: Structural Film, Actionism, Paracinema

Branden W. Joseph will discuss the travels of Tony Conrad and Beverly
Grant throughout Europe in the early 1970s. Their itinerary, and the
transformations in Conrad’s work upon his return to the United States,
sheds light on the particular “crisis” of experimental cinema at the
time and the manner in which it was (temporarily) overcome. Revising
current understandings of the notion of there being “two
avant-gardes” (as Peter Wollen famously put it), an examination of
Conrad’s development and his interactions with Malcolm Le Grice,
Wilhelm and Birgit Hein, and Otto Muehl will outline another line of
avant-garde development. Drawn from Conrad’s personal archives and
other research, this talk covers material that is not included in the
author’s recent book, Beyond the Dream Syndicate: Tony Conrad and the
Arts after Cage.

Branden W. Joseph is Frank Gallipoli Professor of Modern and
Contemporary Art in the Department of Art History and Archaeology at
Columbia University and an editor of the journal Grey Room (MIT Press).
