From the September 20-24 Brisbane Festival presents a striking program of music and audio-visual works for new technologies at Metro Arts. Presented as part of the festival’s experimental program Under the Radar, Macrophonics assembles an array of adventurous performance work that explores the interface between humans and machines in performance.
From sensor based microphone and guitar systems to autonomous robots, post-rock dronescapes and experimental electronica, the program includes music, audio visual and installation works by leading Australian sound and media artists Donna Hewitt, Julian Knowles, Wade Marynowsky and Tim Bruniges, with choreography by Avril Huddy
The program features a number of works for the eMic, a new sensor based microphone stand designed by Donna Hewitt. The eMic allows the performer to manipulate their voice in real time by capturing their movements via sensing devices including pressure sensors, distance sensors, tilt sensors, ribbon sensors and a joystick microphone mount.
The progam also features a new work for guitar, sensors and electronics by Julian Knowles, robotics based work from Wade Marynowsky (finalist in the Qld Premier’s National New Media Art Award) and live a/v works from Tim Bruniges best known for his work with Decoder Ring and The Dead Sea
Co-curator and performer Julian Knowles said this is a chance for audiences to experience a national survey of music and a/v work for new performance interfaces developed by the artists with support from a range of international institutions, including the Australia Council for the Arts, Arts Queensland, STEIM (Holland) and the Nes Artist Residency (Iceland).
Under the Radar invites Brisbane audiences to discover the work of an impressive line-up of progressive artists throughout Brisbane Festival from 3 - 24 September 2011.
Brisbane Festival Artistic Director Noel Staunton said Under the Radar provides a platform for artists to take a risk and experiment with art form, while supported within Brisbane Festival.
“I urge the people of Brisbane to get out there and try something new, buy a ticket and see where it takes you,” Mr Staunton said.
