THESE COMPULSIVE BEHAVIOURS
10 ORCHESTRAL WORKS CREATED BY JAMES HULLICK FOR BOLT AND ARCKO SYMPHONIC ENSEMBLE
Featuring
the show Re:Evolution composed with the Amplified Elephants, Wrought
Glacial created by Pansy Nulgit and Hullick and The Ballad of Emily Rose
developed with the Noise Scavengers.
As the
audience begin to take their seats, a man stands onstage, silently
composing music notation. Within the hour, he’s joined onstage by an
orchestra – the musicians seize their freshly minted sheet music and
begin to play, even as the composer works furiously to complete the
piece. Here the gathering orchestra heralds a key feature of this
project: the celebration of sonic communities.
Thus
begins the first concert of a remarkable music event conceived by
maverick Australian composer James Hullick (Bruchlandung). A turbulent
succession of ten experimental chamber orchestra works, These Compulsive
Behaviours is a series of fractured soundscapes crafted as a gift of
love for Hullick’s partner, Charlotte Bolcskey. In articulating this
gift of love Hullick has included a range of sonic creators in
developing some of the works: Re:Evolution has been composed with the
Amplified Elephants — musicians with an intellectual disability; Wrought
Glacial — created in partnership with Kimberley Elder and singer Pansy
Nulgit; and The Ballad of Emily Rose — developed with car-jacking teens
from the Noise Scavengers.
Playing with form and
tone, Hullick and his sonic communities reframe unorthodox noise art as
romantic devotion, weaving cut-up electronica with snippets of text,
slow-melting glacial blocks of sound and the play of colour in darkness.
