International Noise Conference - Melbourne edition non-review and polemic

The inaugural Melbourne edition of the International Noise Conference was not your ordinary noise gig. Rather than the standard pub format of “30 minute performance – break between set up – then repeat”, this was a near-constant succession of concise noise performances performed back-to-back, rotating between two performance rooms. The near-constant, no-breaks, frequency of noise music, along with the event’s free entry, gave the atmosphere a flavour that reminded me more of an informal house show; audience response was nearly always positive and often euphoric, and the lack of raised stages also contributed to an intimacy between performers and audience. This closeness was especially apparent in the smaller “no PA” area (amp stacks were used instead) – a lounge room-sized area where the audience crushed in and at times crowded around performers.

I did not see every one of the 30 or so acts, (I slipped out for a meal for about an hour around 6pm, then left before seeing any of the international acts besides Leslie Keffer as I found that too much noise could, indeed, be enough), but even though I saw/heard most of the local performers it seems redundant to write here anything like a traditional review that goes through the line-up with descriptions and comments. What I found enjoyable and interesting about the day was the overall impression this barrage of noise had on me (making me think even more firmly that contemporary noise is much more about quantity than quality), and how various differing circumstances about this show affected my expectations and perceptions of performances that, in the usual pub gig format, would probably have left me bored.

The day did have its musical/sonic highlights that I would’ve enjoyed in any setting; chief among these being Sean Baxter’s floor tom performance. For those who haven’t seen Baxter perform this before, it consists of a floor tom close-mic’d through the PA creating bottom-end feedback who’s pitch is altered by Baxter pressing objects onto the drum skin and adjusting the drum’s tension with tuning keys. The reflective surfaces in KIPL provided by the concrete floors created a massive sonic effect that you experienced physically almost as much as aurally. When Baxter began I was talking to Peter James in the No PA room (Baxter was performing in the PA room); the wave of bottom-end feedback was like a filter on Peter’s voice, cutting out frequencies so it sounded like it was being digitally altered. This, along with the vibration of the drum skin created by the feedback demonstrated visually when Baxter placed small chopstick-sized drum sticks on the drum that then proceeded to dance around of their own accord, made the performance a multi-sensory demonstration of the physical elements of sound.

But performances like this were the exception rather than the rule – more than half of the performers adopted what has (at least in Melbourne) become the standard noise set-up: a string of effects pedals usually processing some sort of primitive sound source. The sound sources could be anything from voice/microphone, analogue phones, tape loops, keyboards, occasional guitars, and on several occasions mic’d pieces of metal junk. I admit that such set-up’s often bore me as a punter, but on this day it was almost as if we were witnessing a scientific study of noise performance, where trends and common approaches became apparent (our theoretical scientists probably would’ve also been interested in the fact that every second person seemed to be recording performances with their own digital audio or video device).

This sample of noise performance may have also been restricted due to the event’s banning of laptops, but I think that the use of analogue gear and effects pedals with a primitive sound source you can bash on gives the performer a chance to display a physicality in noise generation that generally isn’t available to laptop-performers. Probably the most transcendent noise performance I’ve ever witnessed was performed on laptops alone (Merzbow), but I think this current noise scene (localised or not, I’m not sure) has transcended even he. The Melbourne edition of the International Noise Conference demonstrated that the current oeuvre of noise values brevity, physicality and low-tech instrumentation.

Claire Furchick (who’s performance I unfortunately missed), who had also been to the Sydney edition of the event the previous night, mentioned to me that she noticed a real difference in noise performed by men and women. I saw several female performers, including Oranj Punjabi, Bleach Boys and Leslie Keffer, and think she has something here. The former two’s performances, although using basically the standard noise set-up described above, seemed more restrained and certainly less urgent/desperate, which was a welcome change of pace on the day. I again regretted not being able to attend the Ladyz In Noyz Showcase that was on earlier this year, and I wondered if there is a generalised-yet-identifiable difference in approach to noise performance aligned with gender. Leslie Keffer was a marked deviation from other performances, using beats and encouraging several audience members to turn KIPL into a dance floor, which was again a welcome change of pace, even though I remained a flat-footed wallflower.

Massive kudos to the Sabbatical team for putting this on. And now...

Polemic:

So what does all this mean for what noise may or may not be in Melbourne 2011?

Noise should be:
- Free: paying for entry to noise gigs or noise CDs/tapes gives the problematic expectation that some noise has some measurable value, which is wrong because noise is
- Low tech/low quality: ‘high quality’ noise is now an oxymoron. If noise is high quality, it is no longer noise. For this reason, noise should be
- Brief: the impact of low-quality noise is lost if it goes on for more than 10 or 15 minutes. Heil Spirits’ performances was memorable in that it lasted about 3 minutes. The audience demanded an encore (Sabbatical’s Leith Thomas noting that Heil Spirits ahd finished before his set was even due to start), which lasted about another 90 seconds. But this doesn’t mean noise can’t be
- High Quantity: writing in Noise: the political economy of music, Attali identified the third stage of music as ‘repeating’. This can be applied to noise music – noise must be repeated not only by the individual performer, but by every noise performer. This is a characteristic of noise music. If it differs markedly, it is not noise.

This week, another installment of our occasional series where we feature multiple sets by a distinctive improviser in differing contexts. Cor Fuhler is one of the innovators of the post-70s free improv scene in Holland. From prepared-piano and inside-piano, to guitar, electronics and an array of unusual instruments in between, Fuhler creates unique and dynamic musical worlds, where detail and precision coexist with grit and power. Currently residing in Melbourne, he has devised a program in collaboration with some of the cities most adventurous improvisers in 3 very different sets.

Piano Alone - Eleventh Hour Theatre - 28 & 29 May 2011

6 pm Saturday 28 May & 6 pm Sunday 29 May
ELEVENTH HOUR THEATRE, 170 Leicester Street, Fitzroy
PIANO ALONE – a recital from six decades
Lawrence Whiffin, PIANO SONATA No.3 (2010) first performance
with
Australian piano works from the six decades of Astra’s history
Keith Humble (1959), Helen Gifford (1966), Warren Burt (1971), Mark Pollard (1983), Marguerite Boland (1994), Tom Henry (2006)
Michael Kieran Harvey, piano

Astra concerts continue their 60th year of celebrations in 2011 with an all-Australian piano recital given by one of the country’s leading contemporary performers. The program is given twice, in the fine acoustics and intimate space of Eleventh Hour Theatre in Fitzroy.

The pianist Michael Kieran Harvey has been a driving factor for new Australian piano works, both nationally and across the world, since winning the international Ivo Pogorelich Competition in 1993 with Carl Vine’s First Piano Sonata. In these two Astra performances he premieres a large-scale new sonata, written for him by Lawrence Whiffin in 2010, the composer’s 80th year. The new work is itself a celebration of Harvey’s brilliant virtuosity, put to work in a richly varied environment of styles, which extend from the grand contrapuntal tradition of Bach and Schoenberg to a well-known French comic opera tune – with a pervasive sound of chiming bells throughout the work.

The new sonata is set against the background of the last six decades – the 60 years of Astra’s existence. Extending from Lawrence Whiffin’s colleague Keith Humble in the 1950’s to his former student Tom Henry in the 2000’s, the six works speak of changing times and styles, and of the network of personal and artistic factors which are the essence of musical history.

Tribute to Delia - 22 Ovens St - 22 May 2011

(forwarded from Matthew Williams)

Tuesday May 10th @ the Make It Up Club

This week at MIUC, Clinton Green (AKA Undecisive God) presents 3 collaborative sets entitled: “Improvising Machines.” About three years ago, Green began experimenting with multiple turntables prepared with layered shards of broken records and objects. The original concept was to create an ''improvising machine'', where the turntable randomly skips from vinyl shard to shard, playing tiny samples of each record interspersed with the percussive effect created by the tone arm colliding with the jagged edges of the records. Green would initially improvise on guitar, before progressing to designing compositional structures for multiple turntables alone.

At ''Improvising Machines'', Green returns to the original concept of prepared turntables as generators of improvisatory materials, this time with multiple performers invited to improvise with his turntables. Three ensembles will perform with Green & different turntable set-ups, featuring a cross selection of Melbourne's avant garde improvisors and innovators. Performers will mix-and-match across three ensemble performances, exploring sonic collisons between turntables and a range of instrumentation including guitar, home-made instruments, hacked video games and plunderphonics.

• Ensemble 1 - Clinton Green (multiple prepared turntables and broken records), with Marco Fusinato (gtr/electronics) and Buttress O'Kneel (CDs/electronics)
• Ensemble 2 - Clinton Green (multiple prepared unplugged/mic'd turntables), with Ernie Althoff (acoustic instruments) and Reunion Sacred Ibis (electronics)
• Ensemble 3 - Clinton Green (multiple prepared turntables and broken records), Riki-Metisse Marlow & Gabriel Carazo (multiple prepared turntables) performing 'RPMs'.
