This week at MIUC we exhibit three gatherings of soundmakers focussed
on a very direct approach to their instruments and performative styles,
filtering their technical and cerebral prowess through the visceral
nature of improvised music. A first-time grouping (that should have
eventuated years ago) featuring three of Melbourne's most well-regarded
Makers of It Up, vocalist Carolyn Connors, bassist Dave Tolley and trumpeter Scott Tinkler will pluck sonic potentials from the aether into blissful auditory existence. Joel Stern and Rod Cooper
deal directly with their source of sound production, their musical
implements, by devising handmade creations with subtleties and tonal
possibilities simply not possible with standard instrumentation. And
percussionist James McLean investigates the vertical
and horizontal texturhythmic prospects of his drum kit with a variety of
objects to strike and excite, applied to invoke vast columns and rows
of transcendental aleatoric euphonies.
