BAXTER + TRICOLI / WERNER DAFELDECKER / SNAWKLOR / CHRONOX / VDO / DRY MOUTH

Valerio Tricoli (Berlin) / Sean Baxter duo

... Re-united duo wherein Baxter's percussive clatter is pitted against the concrete revox manipulations of Valerio Tricoli (3/4 Had Been Eliminated).

Werner Dafeldecker (Berlin)

Over the years, Dafeldecker has played contrabass in a number of guises, most notably in the excellent Autistic Daughters (Kranky records) as well as in collaboration with such notables as Kevin Drumm, Chris Abrahams, Jim O' Rourke and Christian Fennesz amongst numerous others.

Snawklor

Long-serving Melbourne collective who continue to challenge the limits of sound w/ synths, drums, whatever else can be used to make ecstatic noise.

Chronox

Rare appearance from Melbourne via Newcastle via cosmos duo dealing in patient synth-manifestation.

VDO

Post-youtube synth sample apparations thru cassette player(s).

Dry Mouth

Low-brow synth / tape n' rec loop / noise. As indebted to Rodney Rude as Pierre Henry, wooo.

live audio - visual convergences


Static Mansion & The Threave Cinematheque Present:

A night of live Audio-Visual convergences

with:
...
Campbell Walker (NZ) / Kim Pieters (NZ) - Moving Image

Radio Cegeste (NZ) / Chris Smith / Ian Wadley / Wife - Sound

Wednesday 22 / 06

$5

Campbell Walker is an underground filmmaker from Dunedin, New Zealand. He has made 4 features, including Uncomfortable Comfortable (1999), generally regarded as the first digital feature made and released in New Zealand. His work is often typified by a focus on acting and improvisation within a minimal framework, as well as by a focus on film as an expression of the movement of time through space. (http://www.listener.co.nz/commentary/campbell-walker/) For this screening he will be showing new films made in Melbourne.

Sally Ann McIntyre is a Dunedin based artist whose mini FM radio
station Radio Cegeste (http://radiocegeste.blogspot.com/) investigates transmission as a site-specific, live experimental medium, via ephemeral sound performances which engage the improvisational potential of the electromagnetic spectrum, using a mini FM transmitter, a flock of small radio receivers, field recordings, shortwave, violin, music box, crank gramophone and portable record players. Radio programmes for live narrowcast performance have recently been heard at the Lines of Flight festival (Port Chalmers), Fredstock (Wellington), Overground (Melbourne), and have been installed variously, including in the exhibition Postcards from Gowanus at Cabinet Magazine's Gallery in New York, and the Frequency Oz series at the Deep Wireless festival, Toronto.

Kim Pieters is perhaps better known in her roles as abstract painter
and experimental musician in such New Zealand underground groups as Flies inside the Sun, Dadamah, Rain and Sleep, but her
interdisciplinary collaborations have been heard and seen in
exhibitions New Zealand wide, and a gathering archive of audio visual works has emerged to growing acclaim, seeding initially from her involvements in the visual side of legendary Dunedin experimental music festival Lines of Flight, which she began with Peter Stapleton in 2002. With their tendency to leave the viewer/listener in temporal suspension, these films' visual scoring of sonic abstractions and dronescapes inverts a sensory hierarchy as much as it promotes embodied sensorial immediacy, and are at home equally in the white cube of the gallery installation and the black box of the cinematic space.
