MAPBM Sound Night

project description

Chris Caines presented a new live audiovisual project called Logue, a visual music piece composed from audiovisual field recordings collected over a ten-year period across Europe, Australia, the US and Asia. These fragments are composed into arcs of abstract and interpolated memory using the rhythms inherent in the audio signatures of place and the textures of images collected while in motion. Gail Priest drew on recent research at the Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio (MESS), exploring ideas around parts and wholes, fields and backgrounds. Her live exploratory music uses voice, micro sounds of objects, field recordings, and electronics as feeds into a system of transformation. Both artists live and work on the lands of the Dharug and Gundungurra peoples in the Blue Mountains West of Sydney.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF NGURRA

The City of the Blue Mountains is located within the Ngurra (Country) of the Dharug and Gundungurra peoples. MTNS MADE recognises that Dharug and Gundungurra Traditional Owners have a continuous and deep connection to their Country and that this is of great cultural significance to Aboriginal people, both locally and in the region. For Dharug and Gundungurra People, Ngurra takes in everything within the physical, cultural and spiritual landscape – landforms, waters, air, trees, rocks, plants, animals, foods, medicines, minerals, stories and special places. It includes cultural practice, kinship, knowledge, songs, stories and art, as well as spiritual beings, and people: past, present and future. Blue Mountains City Council pays respect to Elders past and present while recognising the strength, capacity and resilience of past and present Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the Blue Mountains region.
