Sounding the Condamine is a site-specific performance piece and an on-line installation paying tribute to the Condamine bell that sounded the Queensland landscape in the late 19th century. Drawing on folk songs (On the Banks of the Condamine), bush poetry (in particular Condamine Jack), the sound of the bells (which locals say can be heard up to 20 miles away on a cold still night) and the environmental sounds of Murilla shire, a

performance piece involving music, livestock, installation and movement will be carved into the landscape. Footage from the performance will become part of a digital archive which will also incorporate interviews, historical information, sounds and images presented as an on-line installation work.

Making art in the snow

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

The act of making art in the snow, for a sunloving Australian, is taking some time to get used to. Since I deal so much with sound, the blanketing quality of snow affects my relationship with the acoustical environment significantly. What I have started thinking about are all the sounds that lie dormant under the snow throughout winter. The soundless breath of hibernating mammals, the movement of insects, and I have started creating my own imaginary universe, realised through sandpaper, breath and bowed cymbal.
That is the first 5 days in Banff, Canada.
