Sounds Like Movement [Peter Fraser/Dale Gorfinkel]

Formed in 2009, Dale and Peter treat their duo like a band, building a repertoire of pieces for improvisation. Often absurd and playful, these pieces include kinetic sound sculptures, noise-making clothes, footpump-powered synthesizers, wearable vibraphones, human-sized origami, head-banging-concussion-percussion and drums played with 10 metre long drumsticks.

Shh! [Anja Füsti/Rosalind Crisp]

Rosalind Crisp (choreographer) & Anja Füsti (percussionist) (Australia/Germany) began collaborating in 2022. With their intensely playful and unpredictable duet, they cohabitate inside a field flung with instruments, connected by their improbable attempts at harmony. Like jazz musicians in bodies, their experience as composers, improvisors and performers is a joy-filled ride.

Peter Blamey

Peter Blamey is an artist based in Sydney, on Gadigal land. His practice is often sound- focussed and accomplished via an economy of means, and includes performances, videos, recordings and installations. Broadly speaking, his work explores (amongst other things) the interconnected themes of energies and residues, often through reimagining our everyday encounters with mundane materials and technologies and the physical world, and also by considering how they relate to our experiences of energy generation, use and waste.
