The third week of Make It Up Club's 16th birthday celebrations is
another commemoration of how truly fortuitous we are to live in an age
of liberated music when it has become self-evident that all sounds are
created equal, judged not by the content of their melodies but by the
colour of their tone, united under the banner of improvisation. French
chaotic system creator Jean-Philipppe Gross pits two
notoriously bitter enemies, microphone and speaker cone, against one
another to bear forth ravenously cannibalistic frequencies which could
only be matched by the sheer brutality that is Melbourne's favourite
post-Adornian thing-hitter, Sean Baxter. Two of our fine city's finest string-exciters, guitarist Alex Garsden and violinist Erkki Veltheim,
demonstrate that zero point energy networks are common occurrences in
improvisation, as they eloquently pluck concepts and abstractions from
the quantum vacuum and convey them via amplified vibrations. Ben Byrne and Rosalind Hall
invite you into their rarefied soundworld of descriptive tones and
explicative textures, a reverberative democracy where all that is
audible is appreciable and the deeper one listens the more likely one is
to find a sound wave to alter one's existence. And a three-way noise
rumble of prodigious proportions with pandemoniacal punishers Simon Karis, Pete Bramley and Peter James executing sadistic sonic senton bombs and abominable audial atomic drops on the tinnitus-ridden carcass of formalised music.
