For our final MONO this year, we welcome US-born, Swiss-based musician Jason Kahn. A decade since his last visit, Kahn returns to Brisbane with a new embodied performance work. Using a chaotic feedback system, he creates sound by placing his body in the circuit. Grabbing the open leads of a modular synthesiser, he makes and breaks circuits, causing his synthesiser to overload or momentarily collapse. Via a mixing board, contact microphones, electromagnetic inductors, and the synthesiser’s outputs are used to modulate the synthesiser’s parameters. This results in a dynamic system, difficult to control, but allowing great expressivity—much like any acoustic instrument, only electronic.
MONO is a program of experimental sound curated by Lawrence English of Room40.
Doors — 6.30pm
Performance — 7.00pm
