New North Concert 6: Pollinator
Melbourne is a City of Literature
New North presents Pollinator
New North emerges from its winter hibernation with a program of exploratory music that charts the spectrum of experiences at the turn of the seasons. Charcoal grey and brooding give way to fresh blooms, an upward lift, and pollen in the air.
PROGRAM
Aviva Endean & Dale Gorfinkel
Bass frequencies collide in this unique pairing bringing together Dale Gorfinkel’s most recent instrumental invention- the air drums, and Aviva Endean’s bass and contrabass clarinets. Working with subtle shifts in harmonics, beating tones and breath, these artists work with their unusual instruments to occupy a shared sonic space.
Panda Wong & Hannah Wu
A live performance drawing upon writer Panda Wong’s recent collaborative poetry EP, ‘salmon cannon me into the abyss’. Dedicated to Panda’s dead father, the EP creates its own landscape of loss through found sounds, voice processing and spoken fragments. A performance that is as much about friendship as loss, Panda is joined by writer and musician Hannah Wu.
Rama Parwata
Through experiments in electronic augmentation of percussive sonorities, Rama Parwata will be further exploring the abstracted potentialities of drum-set performance through computer processing, accompanied by a unique suite of guided improvisations.
