Kinetic Sound Installation
Facebook event
sculptures: 5 is a kinetic sound installation that binds together multiple senses through audio signal. This continues an engagement with the translation of sonic materials by cross-modally working between sound, movement and light. This work articulates the complex relations of sound waves by creating a visual, audible and physical representation of phase space that realises the sensory affect of the spatial arrangement of waves.
Kynan Tan is an artist working with digital processes to investigate networks, data transference and relational structures between multiple senses. These works take the form of multi-screen audio-visual performances, installations, 3D-printed sculptures, improvised sound, and kinetic artworks involving electronic circuits, speakers and lights.
Andrew Brooks is a Sydney based artist, writer, curator and organiser whose work takes the form of installations, performances, text works and sound recordings.

“Ethno-cyberpunk diva. (Her) voice is a thing of wonder, ranging from lilting folkiness to speaking-in-tongues wildness.” -Richard Sanderson
Viv Corringham is a British vocalist and sound artist based in New York. Since the 1980s she has been singing a wide range of music that includes free improvisation, Greek Rembetika and spontaneously created songs. She has also been recording soundscapes in the many countries her sound and installation work has taken her. These various elements find their way into her live performances.
She works in several established groups, in ad-hoc groupings and also as a soloist.
She has performed with Pauline Oliveros, Monique Buzzarte, Gino Robair, Elliott Sharp, Lol Coxhill, Charles Hayward, Al Margolis, Maggie Nicols, Andrea Parkins, Eddie Prevost and Didier Petit among many others.

Deep Listening, as developed by Pauline Oliveros, explores the difference between the involuntary nature of hearing and the voluntary, selective nature – exclusive and inclusive — of listening.

Lines of Flight Festival, Dunedin
Facebook Event
The legendary Lines of Flight experimental music festival returns to Dunedin in March as part of the 2015 Dunedin Fringe Festival. It features sixteen hours of performances, showcasing experimentation across a wide range of musical genres: from trancelike drones to fiery free jazz, from delicate electro-acoustics to roaring walls of noise, from cutting edge digital technology to ingenious homemade instruments.
The opening night at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery will include Christchurch electroacoustic group the Aletheia Ensemble and also Stanier Black Five. Her piece ‘Oenosthesia’ is a multi-sensory performance exploring the synergies between sound and taste, and was originally created during an artist’s residency in Southern Italy.
Plus the highlights from the first announcement: Our Love Will Destroy the World’s ecstatic noise, Jeff Henderson and Hermione Johnson’s superb saxophone and prepared piano duo, the hypnotic analogue synth beats of the mysterious Omit, improvised psych/rock from Dunedin’s Eye, turntable cut-up mastery from Wellington’s Alphabethead, a rare performance by the godfathers of free noise A Handful of Dust, featuring Bruce Russell and Alastair Galbraith, and a very rare live outing by the Sandoz Lab Technicians.
Tickets are available via the Dunedin Fringe Festival website, www.dunedinfringe.org.nz

Fresh off the boat and still breathing, Teen Haters invade the Auricle with a bunch of cables and some half-tuned instruments in a last ditch attempt to record an album before the format becomes extinct. Audience members are encouraged to bring their portable recording devices to bootleg the proceedings for possible inclusion in the final album mix.
