Out West Liminal Sounds

Tone List Presents: Josten Myburgh & Daisy Sanders, Kelsey Diamond & Soph Kruse, Mute Care Unit
2023-09-27 19:30 - 21:30 (Australia/Perth) | Maylands Yacht Club, East St, Maylands, WA, 6051
Tone List presents is our new ad-hoc program of events responsive to proposals, visiting artists, and artist whims. The first of these is a program of experimental performances that play with stillness or quiet in brave ways.
The occasion here is a homecoming show for the duo of contemporary dancer Daisy Sanders and alto saxophonist Josten Myburgh. Having explored rest-as-performance through dance and music together for over five years, the duo recently completed a tour of Aotearoa, refining their practice to be more and more sensitive to the bristling intensity of silence and stillness. Marked by sudden changes in emotive state and intensity and a palpable trust, its a powerful, patient (and occasionally very playful) project.

Kelsey Diamond and Soph Kruse have been collaborating together as musicians, interdisciplinary artists, hosts of experimental dinner parties, and considered event curators for many years. This new duo project explores a subtle, droning ambient soundworld using modular synthesis, found objects, violin and other materials in striking and unusual assemblages.

The first live performance of Dylan Terranova’s project Mute Care Unit explores amplification of tiny acoustic sounds, sparse twitches of analogue synthesis and electroacoustic feedback, and silence. Known for stark and brutal electro-acoustic works and punishing harsh noise, Mute Care Unit sends the extremity in the other direction towards the threshold of audibility.

Doors at 7:30pm, with music starting shortly after (around 7:45pm).
Tone List events work on a pay-what-you-can principle: you are welcome to pay any amount. We usually suggest $25 or $15.
This gig is all ages. Non-alcoholic drinks will be available for purchase.
Accessibility: The Maylands Yacht Club is a wheelchair accessible, via a ramp at the exterior of the space, and a wheelchair lift on the interior. An accessible all-gender bathroom is located in the hallway on the ground level. ACROD parking is available outside the space. The music will often be very quiet, and may also have moments of sudden loud volume.
Tone List is a Boorloo-based exploratory music label, operating on the lands of the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation. We pay our respects to custodians and elders of this boodja past, present and future.

SoundExplorationFremantle: playing in time with Naoko Uemoto
2023-09-24 14:00 - 16:30 | Sullivan Hall, 2 Nannine Ave, White Gum Valley, WA, Australia
SoundExplorationFremantle coordinates workshops led by respected practitioners of improvised musics. Participants listen, explore, and create, using an eclectic range of sound-making objects, musical and other instruments, and our voices. SEF workshops suit people with all levels of experience (or none) in music and/or improvisation.
Naoko Uemoto will present a workshop exploring movement as an extension of expressive rhythm; she’ll guide us through ways of bringing or creating the energy rather than waiting to react to it – and, we’ll delve into feeling the beat as a social phenomenon, and ways to incorporate this into an improvised setting.

Sullivan Hall, Nannine Ave., White Gum Valley, WA
the venue is wheel-chair friendly
entry by donation: $10/15/20
(all contributions go towards paying the professional musicians who guide our workshops and to rental for the hall)

Ochre for massed flowerpots, bells and sensor driven LED lights – Thea Rossen (world premiere)

Conditions of Growth is created by percussionist/composer Thea Rossen and media artist Sohan Ariel Hayes in collaboration with:

The Journey Down
2023-09-16 18:30 - 20:00 | European Foods Warehouse, 77 Francis St, Northbridge, WA, 6003, Australia
The Journey Down is an animated and vibrant celebration of dance, song, projections and otherworldly sound coming together to transform an old bush wreck into a travelling canvas of story and culture.
Six years in the making, The Journey Down tour features the sonic sculpture Warnarral Noorrngoorrool (Gija for old car), on tour from Kununurra through the expanse of regional and remote WA to its final destination in Perth, where it’s been acquired by WA Museum Boola Bardip. Warnarral Noorrngoorrool includes paintings depicting stories of dreaming, vehicles and journeys by significant Gija artists including Shirley Purdie, Gabriel Nodea and Gordon Barney.
Warnarral Noorrngoorrool will be accompanied by powerful performances by Mirriwoong and Gija songmen and dancers including Chris Griffiths and Andrew Daylight, Yamatji didjeridu virtuoso Mark Atkins with leading Australian musicians Aviva Endean, Tristen Parr and Vanessa Tomlinson, interwoven with animation and video design from Sohan Ariel Hayes (Boorna Waanginy: The Trees Speak).
Presented in Perth for one night only, The Journey Down will transport audiences to new worlds in a celebration of intercultural collaboration, the vibrancy of our regional communities and the stories and sounds that connect us.
Additional Information
Warnarral Ngoorngoorrool is pronounced Wah-nah-rool Noom-er-rool and is Gija for “old car”
The Gija people are from the East Kimberley area of Western Australia, about 200 km south of Kununurra. Many Gija people now live around localities such as Halls Creek and Warmun.
The land of the Miriwoong people covers a large tract of country straddling the Western Australian and Northern Territory border and includes the township of Kununurra in the East Kimberley.

About the exhibition
Working across video, sound, performance, and installation, Özgür Kar’s cross-disciplinary practice is an exploration of contemporary existentialism with a particular focus on the interconnectivity of digital media and the body.
Kar’s installations feature black and white minimally animated characters trapped within television screens. Taking inspiration from Ottoman and Persian folklore, experimental theatre, early animation and 1990s MTV cartoons, his works are devised as theatrical scenes with each character playing its part within a non-linear script. Often working with voice actors and instrumentalists, Kar layers his source materials to create deceptively simple looping part soundscapes that become increasingly fraught and profound with repeated viewing.
In Good Night (2021) an almost eight-metre-long animated skeleton lies confined within the edges of television screens as they sing a haunting lullaby. This monumental yet cramped figure of Death gazes apathetically towards a murky city skyline. Their melancholic song expanding outwards beyond the visual confines of its digital coffin as the lullaby gently drifts, drones, and grows still, reverberating its sorrowful tune into the listener’s body.

Kinds of Light 7: Simon Charles & Lara Pollard
2023-09-08 19:30 - 21:30 | PS, 22 Pakenham St, Fremantle, WA, 6160, Australia
Kinds of Light is a concert series for creative music at PS in Walyalup/Fremantle. Curated by composer and improvising musician Josten Myburgh, Kinds of Light celebrates ambitious experimentation, careful musicianship, and sounds that are relevant to this place and time. It is programmed across style and genre, excited by the love and rigour that goes into music that defies categories.
SIMON CHARLES – new electro-acoustic compositions
https://www.sibercha.com/
LARA POLLARD – solo for guitar and electronics
https://larafay.bandcamp.com/
Kinds of Light 7 sees York-based composer Simon Charles present new works emerging from his committed and enigmatic practice. Often using Nagra analogue tape machines and digital delays to process delicate field recordings, alto and soprano saxophones, harmonium and other instruments in his studio, the soundworld of Simon’s work recalls multiple eras of experimental music simultaneously, attentively revisiting lost avenues and recombining what’s found into something entirely new. Simon has performed internationally, often as part of the award-winning experimental ensemble Phonetic Orchestra, including in festivals and concerts in Oslo, Porto, Los Angeles, Berlin, Marseille and throughout Australia. He works regularly with visual artist Katie West, poet Jessica Wilkinson, and many musicians including Callum G’Froerer, Jameson Feakes, Djuna Lee, Josten Myburgh, Jim Denley and Rebecca Lane.
Young composer Lara Pollard is best known for their thoughtfully ramshackle indie folk project under the name Lara Fay, writing gorgeous and atmospheric songs that convey effortless talent. In their solo electro-acoustic performances they combine looped guitar, no-input mixer and effects processing, bringing the effortlessness of their songwriting into delicately lush improvisations. Lara has worked in a variety of projects in town, including writing new choral music for the Vanguard Consort, and performing in bands Ocean Cosmonaut, Vacuum Dreamer and Honour Culture.
Doors and bar open from 7:30pm, with live music starting a little after.
Tickets are pay-what-you-can, with a suggested price of $25 or $15 depending on your means. Free tickets are available for First Nations people, companion card holders, and those experiencing financial hardship.
Accessibility: The venue is wheelchair accessible, with accessible bathrooms. There is ample seating available and the venue is very spacious. The music will at times be very quiet.
Kinds of Light is presented by Tone List and PS. Tone List and PS operate on the lands of the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation. We pay our respects to custodians and elders of this boodja past, present and future.

~~~~~~~~~

JENNY HICKINBOTHAM
As writing, performing and making arts are much more fun than listening to annoying voices, Jenny spends her time creating. Jenny was awarded the RMIT Liquid Architecture Graduate Prize for Sound Art in 2020 and was supported by curator Joel Stern to put on an exhibition of her songs at Blindside Gallery as her prize.
This year Jenny returned to Emerging Writers Festival to perform with Miriam Webster in Distraction & its (dis)contents, and with Arts Access’ CEO Caroline Bowditch in Into the Hybrid: a Dialogue of New Works.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DR CLAIRE PANNELL & JOHN PANNELL
Dr Claire Pannell, aka Furchick, is best known as an experimental musician, but she has a long history of poetry and lyric writing going back to the 80s.
Claire has released several poems with musical accompaniment on Dog Park Records. She writes about her personal life experiences and doesn’t hold back speaking her mind. She takes you on a personal journey through words.
She will be joined by her 92 year old father, John Pannell. John became a self published writer at the age of 87 with a book of verse called The Whimsical Menagerie. At the Red Room, he will be sharing his more adult work reflecting on his challenging life.
Claire incorporates a DIY and punk attitude into her creations which fuse arts, technology and science with Dog Park aiming to challenge the frontiers of sound and how music is made; from using household items and home made automata as musical instruments to recording live at home with musical collaborators.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BEC BOWMAN
I spent my adolescence in the wilds of suburban Perth as a grunge. I brought myself up reading the adventures of people in other places, and as soon as I could I was on a plane overseas. Since then I’ve been reading and travelling my way through my own adventures.
I decided in 2015, quite randomly, that I wanted to be on radio. It took me another 18 months before I was in Perth at the same time the course was on. I loved every minute.
When asked by Station interviewer what was the best thing about hosting Artbeat every Friday 9am -12 noon, Bec said, Feeling like part of something bigger than myself. Getting to discover new music through other presenters. Trawling through music in the middle of the night and excitedly sharing my finds.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ZOE BARRON & FIONA HOOK

Teacup Weather combines spoken word and strings to create an experience that is as unique as it is deeply moving. A cello resonates at roughly the same frequency as the spoken voice – that’s why it gets you in the guts. Zoe speaks in the key of G. Her stories tease out nuance from the mundane: sometimes playful, sometimes dark, they pick apart relatable experiences of suburbia, love and domesticity, and poke at social conventions we’ve learned to take for granted.
Fiona’s cello turns the whole thing visceral. She makes sounds you haven’t heard a cello make before – weird ones, ugly ones, some so beautiful they go right through you. Teacup Weather is funny and strange, beautiful and reflective. You will hear yourself among the notes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LUKA BUCHANAN & BEN BUCHANAN
Luka Buchanan (they/them) is a visual artist, poet, & musician from Boorloo. Always informed by a passion for improvisation and DIY methods, Luka’s artistic practice involves painting, drawing, collage, performance, and spoken word. Their work is speculative, often emotional, and investigates love, trauma, & gendered body-hood.
Luka will be joined by their brother, Ben Buchanan (he/him), who is a cellist and musician currently studying composition at WAAPA.
Together their performance explores poetic relationships in sound, using cello & spoken word to convey complex emotional landscapes.

2023-08-26 20:00 - 2023-08-27 01:00 | Badlands Bar, Unit 1/3 Aberdeen St, Perth, WA, 6000, Australia
Uboa is the solo drone/noise project of Xandra Metcalfe, Naarm/Melbourne-based sound artist specialising in both dreamy ambience and nightmarish caverns of harsh noise. A testament to Uboa’s intense live shows, she will be touring the East Coast this year with Liturgy (US) having recently shared the stage with DIS FIG (Berlin), previously opening for Gabber Modus Operandi (ID) and Trepaneringsritualen (SW).
Drawing lyrical inspiration from her experience as a transgender woman, Xandra Metcalfe’s work as Uboa condenses a wider range of influences into a frightening soundscape of its own. Fans of Purgist, Facialmess, Endon, Locrian, Nurse With Wound, along with artists on the No Rent and Triangle Records labels will find themselves right at home with her soundscapes.
Her most recent album, The Origin of My Depression is critically acclaimed, and led to Uboa being signed to The Flenser (dark experimental record label based in San Francisco). Also, you may know her from her ambient-noise-black-doom split release with Bolt Gun back in 2018.
Also featuring noise, grind, hyperpop and emo from Territory, Flesh Prison, Puke and Doxx Ephemera.

Join us for Weekends at PICA, a morning filled with coffee, performance and conversation with PICA’s Djilba/Kambarang artist Sancintya Mohini Simpson.
Simpson will present An exhalation: communicating with my ancestors through DNA and an ocean re-remembered. This experimental sound performance incorporates stainless steel vessels, water, salt, the body and breath, creating space to connect with ancestors by reimagining and recreating an ocean space.
Following the performance, Simpson will join artist Shivanjani Lal, a fellow member of the Indian indentured labourer diaspora, to discuss her practice and exhibition ām / ammā / mā maram. The rich, sensory exhibition features objects and paintings that reveal the often-absent narratives of Indian indentured labourers in colonial history.

GOOLUGATUP SOUNDS 14
w/
SODA LITE (Lutruwita/Tas)
JEREMY SEGAL / NAOKO UEMOTO / JOSIAH PADMANABHAM
Friday 28 July 2023 / from 7pm

As frosty Makuru gives way to the slowly warming, brightening season of Djilba, GOOLUGATUP SOUNDS invites you to its fourteenth ‘Goolugatup Sounds’ – another double bill of unique and inquisitive music by the Derbal Yerrigan riverbend.
The soundscapes of Nipaluna/Hobart-based SODA LITE (aka Alex Last) are crafted in response to local environments, built on field recordings which serve as a ‘mulch’ for the growth of sympathetic timbres, moods and melodic patterns. In Alex’s words, each song is an “attempt to embody the slowly ventilating tempo and vibrant agency of earthly realms.” Keyboards cycle through sound-banks to form cascading phrases over pools of nectar-rich ambience, while deep swollen drones and slurred woodwinds disperse beneath airy, rain-replenished tones. Over the years, Soda Lite has released music with US ambient & experimental labels like Not Not Fun, Constellation Tatsu & Inner Islands. For Goolugatup Sounds, Soda Lite will be joined by June Last (keys) for a captivating set of live electronics and audiovisual immersion. Meanwhile, other facets of Alex’s expansive arts practice unfurl in their gallery show ‘Outside Inn’, opening alongside.
The new improvisatory collaboration between JEREMY SEGAL (electronics), NAOKO UEMOTO (saxophone) and JOSIAH PADMANABHAM (piano) explores live instruments interacting with generative digital sequencing. Picture tumbling, computer-generated rhythms with an uncanny half-likeness to human drumming, mingling with virtuosic piano and saxophone melodics. Between them, the three burrow deeply and patiently into wild sonic possibilities – the distinctive interplay of each instrument and player’s idiosyncrasies, strange and beautiful confluences of harmony, and incalculable arcs of form that might evoke Stockhausen one moment and Arca, Thelonious Monk or Pharaoh Sanders the next. Fossicking in the borderlands of heartfelt expression and austere musical sci-fi, this meeting of minds from three of Boorloo’s musical rising stars is not to be missed.
Join us at Goolugatup Heathcote, Applecross from 6pm, Friday July 28 (music starts at 7). Entry is free, with wood-fired pizza, full bar and two exhibitions opening alongside (‘Outside Inn’ by Alex Last, and ‘triple power of plants’ by Audrey Tan, Jess Tan and Sebastian Temple).
