Furchick (Claire Pannell)
Each new piece is a nonchalantly delivered slice of
experimentalism, at times discordant but never repellent. A playful, adventurous ethic is betrayed by a range of offbeat home-made instruments – like a contraption built from a tin box and a slinky.
Meanwhile however, the set recalls a classic avant-garde art aesthetic. There are people in Perth playing with loopers and unconventional instruments, but no-one’s doing anything like this.
A performance like Furchick’s will stick in your memory like chocolate on your pearl-white frock.
Oranj Punjabi (Fjorn Butler)
Bundling together time-warping feedback loops, cracked and mangled tape sounds, the pure tonality of no-input mixing desk, and found object manipulation (fed through dirty, hand-molded contact mics), visual artist Fjorn Butler places sonority under stress, pushing library recordings of body noise through a thick wall of psychedelic splooey. Here, collage and concept meet an exceptionally tactile approach to the simple pleasures of making noise.
Lee Noyes
Lee is a musician working in the fields of improvised music and electroacoustic composition, with an emphasis on collaborative work, domestic and international. primarily a drummer/ percussionist, he also works regularly with strings and live electronics, with other dunedin-based musicians and with visiting artists
