Event Details
Clocked Out – Out of Time Using a carefully tuned collection of resonant objects and prepared piano, Clocked Out will present an all-new program of mind-twisting polyrhythms, micro-tunings and sonic explorations. Scrubbing – 8s – Dirty lizard – 3s and 5s – Out of Time – 7 Plus – Shooting Star – In Time - Travelling Starting in Melbourne in 1999, the duo of Erik Griswold and Vanessa Tomlinson crafted their trademark warped grooves and evocative soundscapes, using a colourful array of instruments including prepared piano, percussion, found objects and toys. Drawing on a wide variety of influences from experimental, jazz, and world music, Clocked Out has since played everywhere from Sydney Opera House to Roulette (New York) and Super Deluxe (Tokyo). Recently they have focused on site-specific, environmental and architectural works, initiating a number of large-scale projects dealing with issues of cultural heritage (Sounding the Condamine), environment and extinction (Sonic Dreams), and acoustics (84 Pianos, Vibrations in a landscape). This body of work has reached a culmination of sorts with the Piano Mill (APRA AMCOS Art Music Award for “Excellence in Experimental Music,” World Architecture Festival Award in “Cultural building” category), a copper-clad tower in the forest of New South Wales purpose-built to house 16 vintage pianos. Clocked Out has received two APRA AMCOS Art Music Awards: the "Award for Excellence in Experimental Music" and "Outstanding Contribution by an Organisation," as well as two Green Room Awards. From 2008-2020 they were Ensemble in Residence at Queensland Conservatorium, and they are currently artists in residence at Harrigans Lane Collective, curating the Piano Mill and Lagavulin concert series.
