SOUND with guests Michael Kieran Harvey and Kanako Okamoto
Tuesday 23rd September 12:00 - 1:30 in Room 113 VCA
First reading and discussion of new work for trombone, electric bass, and piano.
Charles MacInnes (trombone)
Jeremy Aslop (electric bass)
Michael Kieran Harvey (piano)
Kanako Okamoto (composer)
SOUND was formed in 2006 by Charles MacInnes (trombone) and Jeremy Alsop (electric bass guitar). We created the group as a vehicle for our own compositions, spontaneous playing, and explorations into, well, sound! The group recently received an Australia Council grant for the composition of a new work. Having performed in galleries and as guests at several universities we are now embarking on a series of collaborations with other musicians, visual artists, and writers.
On the 23rd we are presenting an open rehearsal with Japanese composer Kanako Okamoto, who has written a work for Michael, Jeremy, and myself.
We envisage this to be a valuable workshop experience for advanced student musicians and composers in their search for creating a new ensemble aesthetic that puts interaction and sound at the forefront.
I would be delighted if you could pop in for some or all of this event, or indeed if you have any students who may be interested in hearing and talking to these musicians, please encourage them to attend.

Aha, so this is what you are doing on the 23rd. It sounds mighty interesting and a shame about the clash. I'd have liked to come along. Best wishes for a good end of term, and a good gig on the 23rd. GH
