PRIMORDIAL

A soundscape that condenses several million years of shifting Tectonic forces as the first complex life form on earth emerged, PRIMORDIAL is a unique merging of science and sound – a visceral listening experience reflecting the immense landscape of the Ediacara Fossil field on the edge of the Australian desert.

Composer Constantine Koukias imagines the sound of shifting tectonic plates through manipulated piano preparations and electronics to create cascading waves of sound. Gabriella Smart pounds and caresses the piano, cajoling beautiful and extraordinary prepared sounds that are symbiotic with Koukias’ electronic score.

This 60-minute soundscape for piano, electronics with diverse media is happening on August 25 in Hackett Hall. Tickets on sale soon.

INNER CITIES PERFORMED BY GABRIELLA SMART

Gabriella Smart in Inner Cities

Inner Cities is a five hour piano cycle for solo piano composed by Alvin Curran and performed by Gabriella Smart.

This free event, described by Alex Ross of the New Yorker as “vast and all-consuming”, takes place on August 21 & 22 from 10am to 4pm within the walls of the WA Museum Boola Bardip. You are invited to wander… absorbing the different architectural and acoustic perspectives of the space. Audiences have been known to meditate, bring their yoga mat, or simply sit or lie down.

Expectation of the formalised tradition of concert-going is suspended, with a five-hour celebration of space, light, meditation and transcendence of time beyond our normal conception.
