Story-telling through music without words
Ever heard a piano played with screws, paper and rubber?
Ever wondered what sound really looks like?
Thrill your senses next Saturday 24th May when Melbourne percussive group, Speak Percussion jams with Brisbane music collective, Clocked Out, in a concert of kinetic sculpture at the Judith Wright Centre for Contemporary Arts.
The concert, Dream, Spill, Fear, Percussion is a story told through the music of one pianist and seven drummer/percussionists; a story which takes audiences through a journey of dreams, fears, excitement and relaxation.
The story is narrated by drums and piano, xylophones and marimbas, toy instruments, modified music boxes and gongs, and numerous instruments of fancy. Artist Cameron Robbins’ sculptural cone housing 20 kilograms of rice, becomes the voice in the story entitled, Spill, in which the falling grains create sounds as they strike various vessels placed beneath the cone. Erik Griswold’s Strings Attached offers the audience a serious fix of sonic and optical power through a driving beat of ropes fastened to throbbing drum sticks.
