We are returning to 107 Projects, Redfern, for a night of interactive performance as part of Sydney’s 2018 VIVID Festival of Light, Music and Ideas on Friday, June 8. The event will explore the intersection between movement and the voice, featuring solo and collaborative audiovisual pieces by Deprogram, Donna Hewitt and Julian Knowles. I will post more details as our ideas, interfaces and works develop.

After a long hiatus, we are playing at the 2017 Electrofringe Showcase, presenting some new compositions with the telechord, the polyphonic theremin we’ve been developing and refining over the last 3 years. The show will be on at 107 Projects, Redfern on Saturday, November 4.

We’re preparing for a show at 107 Projects, Redfern, as part of the Electrofringe Festival showcase. We’ll be performing at 5.15pm with Telechord, bass, drums, interactive and live visuals. I will speaking beforehand about the process of creating the work and designing the main movement-controlled instrument, a type of polyphonic theremin. This is the first time Electrofringe has left Newcastle, so it’ll be interesting to see how the event transforms in this new exhibition-style environment.

Entry is by donation and you can find more details at electrofringe.net.

I’m in the process of editing videos of the Bodyscapes Sydney Fringe Festival season. Here is the latest video, where I play a customised gestural instrument, the Telechord with Robbie Mudrazija on electronic drums.

Thanks to all who came along to the PACT shows. I am on web hiatus for a while as I concentrate on thesis writing and contemplate future performance projects and collaborations. See you on New Years’ Eve at New Psycle.

We had a fun and frantic time at the Beams Festival. It was a challenging but exciting environment to perform in. Thanks to the organisers, CCS Studios UTS for the loan of the projector and Cino for providing the PA. I’ll be posting some videos of people interacting with the installation soon, but for now we’re preparing for Bodyscapes at the PACT Theatre this Friday and Saturday nights – 26 & 27 September.
