This instalment of MIUC is an electroacoustic wonderland of amicably
competing frequencies, where the electronic and the acoustic intermingle
to create sounds greater than the sum of their textural components.
David Ahern (of local aleatoric trailblazers Teletopa) left behind only
one (loosely) composed score from his early period of embracing
extemporaneity, 1971's Stereo/Mono for wind instrument and feedback, of
which there is no known recording. As such, it is hard to conjure a
better duo to interpret a complex, indeterminate work like this than
Australia's leading saxophonic improviser Jim Denley and one of Melbourne's finest avant sound-crafting engineers Byron Scullin. Brigid Burke and Adrian Sheriff
bridge the electroacoustic divide with a much more vigorous tact,
smashing together packets of abstracted free-wind-and-percussion-isms
and generative electronics in a plunderphonic-fuelled flurry. And three
soundexplorers concerned with the vibratory possibilities of strings and
skins and cords - cellist Freya Schack-Arnott, percussionist Sam Hall and vocalist Jenny Barnes - engage in collaborative efforts to emanate fresh, raw audial potentials.
