SoundOut 2023
SoundOut 2023 27th -29th January @Drill Hall Gallery ANU, Canberra
This is the 14th year of the annual SoundOut festival, and in 2023 we will bring to you the continuation of this incredible explorative sound event. This is the Improvisational and Experimental Music festival, that will uplift tired ears and eyes, explore the unknown, see within the fabric of sound, unravel the threads of normative musical praxis, and question sonic hegemonies. The artists will combine, mix, cross-fertilize, and move sound mountains to inspire inquiring ears and eyes.
SoundOut 2022 sees the extraordinary Artists: the legendary Jon Rose (violin); the amazing Hermione Johnson (piano); sublime Peter Knight (trumpet/revox tape player) Chloe Sobek (violine); Mark Cauvin (double Bass); Joe Talia (drums); Alexandra Spence (tape manipulations/objects); Dale Gorfinkel (vibraphone); Jasmin Wing-Lin Leung (Erhu); MP Hopkins (electronics); Peter Farrar (saxophone); Gemma Horbury (trumpet); Dave Brown (guitar); Carmen Chan Schoenborn (piano /percussion); Gail Priest (electronics); Nikki Heywood (vocals/text), Clinton Green (electronics); Elizabeth Jigalin (vibraphone/accordion); Jamie Gifford (Bandenon); Brian McNamara (invented electronics instr.); Jamie Lambert (guitar); Rhys Butler (alto sax); Richard Johnson (wind instr.); Rory Villegas (trumpet) + we are hoping for the avant-garde cellist Khabat Abas from Iraq/Sweden to make it to the festival.
Jon Rose and Peter Knight (former director of the Australian Art Orchestra) will be running seperate Workshops/talks during the festival: Jon Rose will give a talk on experimental instrument making followed by workshop on the 27th from 1-4pm; Peter Knight will give a improvisation workshop on the 28th from 9am -12 @Drill Hall Gallery for those interested for a minor fee of $15 per workshop (see link here) https://www.eventbrite.com.au/…/soundout-workshops…
The 2023 group of Artists are all involved in a dialogue that is essential to the unfolding of new music structures and what it means to be human in the 21st Century. Come, see and hear the new music evolve.
