Tura New Music & UWA School of Music presents
Scale Variable 2 2009
Imagining spaces
7.30pm, Saturday 15th August 2009
Local composers and performers Jonathan Mustard, Chris Tonkin, and Lindsay Vickery join with visiting Canadian percussionist Morris Palter to present a series of solo instrumental works with live computer sound processing, video and multi-channel surround sound diffusion. The focus of the program is works that explore ideas associated with physical space or place. Such notions are explored in various ways: in the mapping of audio signal to visual gesture (video image) in Mustard’s Pizz., the evocation of real or imagined environments as in Saariaho’s Six Japanese Gardens or the creation of spatial gesture in Vickery’s and Tonkin’s works through movement of sound through the six loudspeakers that surround the audience space.
Presented as part of the University Music Society’s Artistry! Series
