Free Range sounds, sunny side up–the return of the IMA’s Thursday night sound club.
Green Terry Manning: A hot new Yeronga trio from the stitched-together sound heads of Tim Green, Amanda Terry, and Ross Manning. Bringing to the table a rich legacy of improvised sound on percussion, violin, and sound sculptures, these kinetic primitives speak in close-mic tongues—the tactile language of small objects, scrapes, taps, and micro signals. Universal consciousness of the everyday—no translator required.
Ian Wadley: Since the early 1980s, Ian Wadley has been a key player in an honour roll of great Meanjin/Brisbane (and beyond) bands: ex-Dum Dums, Closesthing, Holy Ghosts, Gobble Gobble, Minimum Chips, Small World Experience, The Lost Domain, Caroline No, Mad Nanna, to name a few. His string extrapolations are a labyrinthine system slowly branching off the main flow to the outer reaches of nowhere. Free range indeed! Sit back and get lost.
Skylar Sansome: Twelve months have passed since a chosen few inhaled the exquisite song-puff of Skylar Sansome’s duo with Isla Scott (Beagle Vortex) in the IMA screening room. It was a set that divided the scene into those who were and weren’t there—the ‘there’ crew now do the Beagle hand shake, exchange knowing glances at the Cave Inn, and surreptitiously pass each other the one-true-USB-stick with the live recording. Which is to say, don’t miss Skylar Sansome solo. It will be an assemblage of sculptural percussive flotsam where the nearly-struck object holds as much the weight as the ringing tone. Percussive sounds that flow like a river. Mirror in a mirror.
Doors at 6pm.
