The second week of Make It Up Club's 16th birthday festivities dishes
up a delicate degustation of abstracted sonic declarations for the
discerning devotee of improvised music keen to explore the potentials
within instrumental textures and their minutiae. New Zealander radio
artist Sally McIntyre casts her receiver out into the
imperceptibly omnipotent abyss of frequencies surrounding us, variously
drawing in and transmitting out EVP of extinct birds, the void of
defunct gallery spaces and the like, ably matched by the nihilistically
nonentitative nullcore isms of Joel Stern. Four compressors and movers of air take advantage of the wondrous phenomenon known as resonance frequencies, in the cases of Casey Moir and Alice Hui-Sheng Chang to elicit timbres from their vocal folds, with Johan Moir the tubing of a trumpet and Nigel Brown the bass reed blocks of an accordion. The quixotically melodic minds behind Angel Eyes and Pikelet, namely Andrew Cowie and Evelyn Morris,
come together to drift through the sonoverse on dreamy drones and
ethereal tones in an audible cornucopia of pop-flavoured elation. And
in a potential repeat of the most delightfully perplexing 30-minute
conversation to take place at MIUC in 2013, nonrepresentational orators Jenny Barnes and Georgie Darvidis return to the Bar Open stage with free jazz wunderkinder James McLean and Alistair McLean providing the brotherly skittery-rhythm section.
