Event Details
The live audio-visual collaboration between VJ/filmmaker Rachel Brown and Continuum saxophone quartet is inspired by Jacob TV’s Postnuclear Winterscenario No.10 – a bleakly beautiful sonic portrait of a hypothetical reality. Continuum splays the atmosphere with chords, while Brown uses Ms Pinky software to create a parallel universe of images reflecting suspended life and the cold beauty that winter delivers: seasonal or not. Music by Mark Anthony Turnage, Christian Lauba, Elena Firsova and Tony Gorman continue the theme of 'Winterscenario', reflecting landscape, memory, distance and light.
For the balance of the concert Continuum presents the world premiere of Damien Ricketson’s first saxophone quartet; and the Australian premiere of the spectralist composer Hugues Dufourt’s Quatuor pour saxophones.
