Australian Music Centre | Breaking sound barriers

Event Details

‘Clarity Engine’ is a celebration of curiosity and the ingenuity of the musical inventor. Join us in Sydney’s newest music warehouse for a Sunday afternoon of playfulness and creativity with experimental installations, musical machines and performances by Australia’s most adventurous creators. Clarity Engine celebrates the wild, obsessive and infinitely varied creative process of artists: the messy, unpredictable and unexpected pathways that lead us to elegant, clarified artistic expression. This program then brings together all sorts of diverse, fun, interesting explorations by musical-plus-other-elements-type artists. VIolinist Anna McMichael and percussionist Louise Devenish present their “Climate Notes” cycle of works by composers with visuals and sculptural elements. Fabulous Sydney polymath noise artist Hirofumi Uchino (Defektro) will joins us with a brand new sound sculpture. Tim Gruchy and Panos Couros will share their recent explorations into 360-degree immersive work. They will be joined by a range of exciting artists all known for their fiercely exploratory and evocative creative explorations with everything ranging from Dahyo Lloyd’s literal “Body in a Box” to Isabelle Rahme’s "bubblewrapped ghosts of objects” and LIam Mullighan’s “sound texture table”. Join Backstage Music on 6 November for four hours of refreshingly weird, gallery-style ("dip in and out mini festival”) immersive happenings, performances and sound sculpture at the brand new Woodburn Creative warehouse at Waterloo. All brought together by guest curator Damian Barbeler.
