Lone Hemispheres
Join Ensemble Offspring for Lone Hemispheres this August at Carriageworks in Sydney when they invite you within a rare sonic universe – where solos and electronics fuse in real time to create a sum bigger than their parts. Drawing from the radical imagination of the European avant-garde to the distinctive voices of contemporary Australian composers, this 70-minute program traces a lineage of music technology spanning the pioneering Fairlight Computer from the 70’s to contemporary sampling techniques and the use of Ableton and MAX/MSP sound manipulation and creation.
Jason Noble (bass clarinet), Lamorna Nightingale (flute), Claire Edwardes (marimba) and Véronique Serret (violin) perform alone yet move within each other’s orbits. As richly layered electronics combine with their acoustic virtuosity they form a constellation of immersive sounds where genre is blurred and boundaries dissolve.
This package also includes an Ensemble Offspring Songbirds CD which includes one of the pieces from the Lone Hemispheres program: Daybreak by Tristan Coelho.
