Australian Music Centre | Breaking sound barriers

Event Details

As humans we are bound to each other and to the earth we live on. We make music to connect and to explore the complexities and contradictions of our existence. Through the medium of electroacoustic music the ‘EarthBound’ program asks us to delve deep into the complexity of our relationship with our environment amidst the growing catastrophe of climate change. The program brings together female identifying composers and performers from far flung parts of the globe, South Korea to Armidale, Melbourne and Western Sydney. Works from Unsuk Chin, Ros Bandt, Donna Hewitt and Felicity Wilcox will be presented alongside a newly commissioned work created in collaboration between Veronique Serret and early career artist Emma Harlock. Featuring Alana Blackburn on recorder, Veronique Serret on violin and Emma Harlock on bass guitar, the program includes Unsuk Chin's Double Bind? for violin and live electronics. This extraordinary work grapples with the tension between the physical and human-altered - a wildly imagined perspective on the musician as instrument and agent of change.
