Found Sound: The Experimental Instrument Project
AÂ new series of musical and sound art events featuring original instruments designed and built by Australian artists and composers. The project showcases rarely exhibited constructions by a diverse selection of performers from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, including experimental music composers, musicians, sculptors and visual artists. Some of the performers are renowned pioneers in their fields; others are more recent initiates into experimental sound art.
Each event takes the form of an improvised collaboration between at least two participants who do not usually play together. All sounds are to be generated by original, hand-made and/or found elements that can be welded, wired, stuck together, collaged or otherwise assembled into ‘playable’ forms.
Launched 28 January, 6:30pm Guildford Lane Gallery, 20-24 Guildford Lane, Melbourne CBD
