Sabbatical Presents: Aux Assembly

For one night only Sabbatical is proud to present the welcome return of Aux Assembly. It has been almost a year since the last performance by the duo - a pairing of Elise Bishop and Dimitra Bucolo - one of the first and most popular artists to be released on Sabbatical.

The show is the fortuitous result of Elise briefly returning to Australia coinciding with significant progress in Dimitra's recovery, which was ably assisted by contributions from the recent benefit show at the Corner. Seeing the group back in action is a truly exciting prospect.

The inviting surrounds and friendly folk of KIPL will play host to event that includes a range of local noise makers and one Kiwi guest.

NO P.A Presents: Makiko Yamamoto, Don’t Laugh Show

Hi It is time to have a fun night!
One night event, This coming Friday

Don’t Laugh Show

Date: Friday 4 th March 2011

Place: KIPL, 136 Roden St, West Me lbourne

Time: Door opens at 7:00 pm


Explanation of the show

“Target” (Three chosen performers, Samaan Fieck, Kishore Ryan

and Chris Dolman), which is physically and mentally quite hard. What they

have to do during the show is to watch various performers (I will call

performers Gagsters) and role of Target is NOT TO LAUGH. The Gagsters

will perform in front of Target and for them to make them laugh. If Target

laugh during the performance, they will get a punishment by team Punisher,

which will be a smack on the bottom each time they laugh. A punishment

will not create too much pain but it will be enough to say pain.

This show is a part of NO P A project by KIPL. The show will be

the appropriation of Japanese TV program Don’t Laugh 24 hours by Down

Town (Gakino tsukai ya arahende). Makiko Yamamoto who is practicing visual

artist based in Melbourne, is curating this show to experiment in the possibility

of use of gallery with visual and sounds artists to activate the space and

also challenging how much we can be unintelligent through the form of art.

Kipl presents: The Vessel Project, cleaninglady, Vijay Thillaimuthu and Marco Cher- Gibard.


As part of the 'No PA' series, Kipl presents:

The Vessel Project

The Vessel project is an initiative founded by Rod Cooper and Dale Chapman in 2009.
...
The Vessel took four years of planning and over a year to construct.

The Vessel project primarily focuses on instrument building, installation and live performance.

The sonic work of Rod Cooper spans more than 20 years.

Cooper’s interest in instrument building started while completing his sculpture degree in 1988. The many skills developed during the production of his unique instruments, enable him to produce complex metallic instruments.

Cooper performs regularly through out Australia and has toured overseas in the UK, New Zealand, America, Ireland, Indonesia and Japan.

Chapman builds the electronic components of the vessel. He constructs oscillators and delicately hacks existing devices that yield to the pressures of his soldering iron.

By combining many ideas into a singular complex interface, the Vessel has a large range of sounds, incorporating percussion, bowing mechanisms resonant springs and electronic noise.

Measuring in at over 3.5 meters in length, the hollow metallic construction of the Vessel creates a unique timbre. The large boat shaped sound chamber covered with strings and idiophones produces an acoustic resonance that is large in scale, a sound that Cooper himself equates to the vast spaces of the urban underground that he explores with fellow collaborator Dale Chapman. In 1990 Cooper and Chapman formed Klunk. Klunk’s Mantra was sub-terrestrial improvisation. It was during these urban underground explorations where they cut their teeth, developing a new approach to improvisation and performance, leaving behind a back catalogue of rare recordings.

Also Performing:

cleaninglady : Crazed saxaphonisms driven by pedal mania.

Vijay Thillaimuthu & Marco Cher- Gibard : Unpredictable sonic assassinations touched by the hooves of electrified mules.
