Ensemble Offspring

The Listening Museum

April 20, 2013 | 6:00pm

Adventurous Brisbane based duo Clocked Out come together with Ensemble Offspring to present a series of performance installations focusing on the phenomena of listening – a long clarinet glide accompanied by sine tones, resonant bass drums and bouncing ping pong balls, twitter hymns, private beauty box performances, prepared grand piano, extreme bass drums and virtuosi clarinet, a gas cylinder bell with electronics and microphones as pendulums.

This is your very own musical museum – a real life surround sound experience. Featured performers include Jason Noble, Claire Edwardes, Vanessa Tomlinson, Erik Griswold, Steffan Ianigro and Super Critical Mass with classics by Alvin Lucier, Steve Reich, Magnus Lindberg and new works by Erik Griswold and Amanda Cole. Presented in association with the New Music Network.

“Despite the effort, despite the visibly heroic struggles of the performer, the deepest feelings remain trapped by the inadequate means at hand. We bear witness to the gulf between ambition and achievement, between ourselves-in-ourselves and ourselves in others. Normal life. Australia’s Got Talent.” Full review here
