RMIT Culture and Omniversal Hum pres. Jennifer Walshe, Tomomi Adachi, and Chloe Sobek: Late Anthologies of Early Music

Three solo performances by artists working at the intersection of nonsense, absence, presence, and commonsense.

Irish composer, vocalist and conceptual artist Jennifer Walshe, in her first visit to Australia since 2015, performs ‘songs’ from her ongoing project ‘A Late Anthology of Early Music’ in which she uses artificial intelligence trained on her voice to construct and imagine alternative early histories of Western music.

Legendary Japanese experimental vocalist, instrument inventor, and noise poet Tomomi Adachi performs a series of works for voice and live electronics informed by his decades-long immersion in deconstructed language, abstraction, and absurdist spectacle.

Australian composer-performer Chloë Sobek performs on the violone, a Renaissance precursor to the double bass, making works that fuse maximalism and musique concrète, audio-montage and electronic processing.
