Moiré - new and re-invented instruments.
Three very different approaches to extending the physical instrument.
Metal, strings, breath...
The Overtone Ensemble - Vibrissae (singing metal rod instruments), tuned bells and bowed objects.
The
Overtone Ensemble (Tim Catlin, Atticus Bastow, Dave Brown, and
Ceallaigh Norman) perform using "vibrissae" instruments built by Tim
Catlin.
Barnaby Oliver - Just-intoned zithe
Barnaby
Oliver is a musician and multimedia artist most notable for his work in
the experimental improvisational band Infinite Decimals. He has
developed a unique practice drawing on a diverse range of sources, from
60′s experimentalists Alvin Lucier and LaMonte Young through to dub
pioneers King Tubby and Lee Perry. A common theme is the use of sound as
conveyor of hidden worlds, exploring physiological and environmental
processes through the creation of sensitised fields.
Rosalind Hall - Modified saxophone with homemade reeds and preparations.
The
sound worlds Rosalind Hall creates in performance are bodily and
organically evolving, using the saxophone with preparations to abstract
and alter the sounds and playing techniques. She makes reeds from
plastics and metals and places objects in the bell that become vibrating
objects and extensions to the instrument. She uses breath, saliva and
gestures with small and highly sensitive microphones to capture the
sonic microcosm of her body and the internal world of the saxophone.
