Scale Variable New Chamber Music Series - Scattered Experiments at State Theatre Centre of Western Australia

Part 1 EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC FOR ONE PERCUSSIONIST

New works by Kate Moore, Cat Hope and James Hullick.

Explorations in the sonic, visual and electronic arts converge as the definition of a percussion instrument and its performance practice is interrogated.

‘Hers is a percussion more akin to painting, fluid and textural, yet still rhythmic and bold and tactile.’ – Cool Perth Nights

Part 2 Scatterman

Scatterman is part music theatre, part cutting edge sonic art performance. Scatterman is for amplified prepared piano, electronics (including synths and other gadgets) and voice and explores the mindset of a man in his 40’s going through a post relationship break-up psychosis.

‘Stripped of shock value, prepared piano and electronics–as well as sound art–gain the capacity to become more emotive, completing their rotation from something alien to overwhelmingly human.’ - Partial Durations
