SNORE at merri creek tavern 14 March

 

We hope you can join us for this night of great creative music from some of Melbourne's finest sonic artists in duos and a solo. Jenny Barnes the extraordinary and complex vocalist will be joining forces for the first time with Colin Hodson in performance with his mysterious sonic wheel device . Tina Douglas with inventive electronic jujitsu sound generation meets the wonderful drummer Rafal Kaczmarek in a long awaited reunion.  David Palliser will be performing solo with saxophone, electronics and debris to launch the long overdue edition of a new CD - SNORE.       

First performance starts at 8.15.   $10   

I hope we see a few of you there at the wonderful Merri Creek Tavern  111 High st Northcote.     

With an isolated bike wheel, detourned now into a sonic wheel device, Hodson (aka Norlab), brings into play not only the metal infrastructure supporting the wheel, but also the percussive signatures of different tyre tread patterns. The resulting dronescape is continuously in decay but for the feed of new signals shoveled into the machine's audio boiler.

Jenny is an improvising vocalist, an educator and a mother. Her work is steeped in morphology, pragmatics and semantics. By deconstructing her spoken Australian English and studying the sounds of a variety of mammals and birds she has developed a vocabulary that lends her to play freely in a variety of contexts. She is a committed listener and applies a deep listening practice to all her roles in life.

Rafal Kaczmarek is a polish born drummer exploring acoustic percussion and electronics in a free improvise performance.

Tina is a muliti-disciplinary artist (incl. Painting, sound art).  Her work is process-based, using improvisational and intuitive methods, and individualized tools. 

David is a visual artist and improvising musician. He continues to perform with The Charles Ives Singers and has a long history of working with The Donkey's Tail, People with Chairs up their Noses, and many collaborations in Melbourne and overseas.
