descripton
CHROMA is the second concert curated by composers collective Granular Synthesis. The theme for the night is AUDIO/VISUAL. Expect to see conspiracy films, abstract imagery and video art combined with electro-acoustic explorations, skittering free improv and laptop cacophony. Granular Synthesis goes multi-disciplinary with spoken text and absurdist theatre pieces where the musicians’ acting abilities are put to the test. The result: definitely challenging and always entertaining.
Granular Synthesis first demonstrated a knack for combining unusual and individual musical elements in their concert ‘Libertas’. The composers explored solo and ensemble improvisation in a semi-structured concert environment.
The collective formed to try and push the boundaries of group composition and help develop each others’ artistic practice through concerts, workshops and commissions. Core members include WAAPA and UWA composition graduates Ben Hamblin, Tiffany Ha, Tim Beahan, Kelly Curran and Kynan Tan who have all been active in bands, concerts and sound installations in recent years.
For CHROMA, Granular Synthesis welcome contributions from other Perth musicians; including works by Brett Murray, Obscotch, David Boring, The Boost Hero Man and Sam Gillies; and performances by Jess Currie and Liz Lofthouse.
