Josten Myburgh & Naoko Uemoto - Recital
2023-07-01 20:00 - 21:30 | Swanbourne Church of the Resurrection, 105 Shenton Rd, Swanbourne, WA, 2023, Australia
A recital by two young saxophonists united by a shared interest in improvisation and experimental practice on their instruments. Each artist will perform an ambitious solo work, and perform a duo improvisation together.
Saccades by Ted Moore is an electro-acoustic solo work using feedback processes and neural networks to emulate the process of saccadic masking in human vision. Saturated, layered and stimulating, it includes striking interplay between acoustic and electronic sound, and elaborate, contemporary processes for generating electro-acoustic sound textures.
A manorina nest at the edge by Josten Myburgh is an extended electro-acoustic solo that takes the poetics of ecotones and edge effects in ecosystems as a departure point for intricate workings with field recordings, live electronics and acoustic alto saxophone. Undulating, gentle and unusual, it is the next in a series of works by the composer which strive to understand emerging relationships between place, self and music. The piece was recently performed at MONO (Room40, Brisbane) and Wakushoppu (Punctum, Prague); this is it’s Western Australian premiere.

Welcome to the most enchanting arts celebration of the winter solstice and an opportunity to mark the change of seasons. Featuring live performances of song, dance, visual art, spoken word and puppetry at the famous Dyoondalup Point Walter, this annual celebration asks you to pause, stop and begin again; reflect on the year that’s been and the year to come.
5.00pm: Arrive and be welcomed to the grounds of Dyoondalup Point Walter with a personal Acknowledgement of Country by the fire, before exploring the foreshore at your own pace, embracing the atmosphere of roving performers, enjoying the delicious winter spread food and hot drinks as the sun goes down and you await the lanterns of the night.
6.00pm: Make your way up to the hill and find performances that will capture the imagination of children and adults alike. With a musical line-up featuring Jet Kye Chong and fellow percussionist Euphina Yap, an installation sound work by Jake Webb and Lyndon Blue, the compositions of Julia Wallace, as well as performances from Brooke Leeder and Dancers, and first time performers, recent graduates from the Stories under the Stars workshops, facilitated especially for the event by City Libraries and the Storytellers Guild of WA.
Warm yourself by a fire, toast marshmallows, and be mesmerised by story and shadow puppetry by Rickeeta Walley as well as up-close puppet work from Tessa Laing.
7.00pm: Toward the end of the night, witness a grand finale from atmospheric band and jazz ensemble, Vanishing Island Group, with their never-before-heard music composed for the event, alongside poet and Elder Gerrard Shaw.
7.30pm: As a final coming together of community, you’re invited to plunge into the icy waters of the Swan River to renew your energy and inspire a lively year to come.

Congregation of a different kind: vocal improvisation workshops
2023-07-01 16:00 - 2023-07-02 12:00 | Goolugatup Heathcote, 58 Duncraig Rd, Applecross, WA, 6153, Australia
This workshop invites collective thinking by doing, asking what it means to have a voice and a body and to use both in a group improvised setting. It is also an opportunity to think about hope, faith and congregation of a different kind; practicing group singing in a non-denominational context. You do not need to have any prior vocal training or experience in improvising — all levels of experience and vocal proficiency are welcome and encouraged.

Workshops directed by Annika Moses. Registration essential, snacks provided.
