Listen. Deeply.from Liquid Architecture's About page
Liquid Architecture, Australia's premier sound-arts festival, celebrates its eighth consecutive year with concerts, artist talks, workshops, forums, live performances, exhibitions, installations, audio-visuals and recorded work. Featuring our most imaginative musicians, composers, film-sound designers and media artists in a sense-specific feast for the ears.
What is 'Sound Art'?
"For many, it refers to sound-based art work (or at least art work where the principal focus is on sound) across the broad gamut of performance, installation and broadcast contexts, which departs from both traditional musical instrumentation and notational methods and frequently employs electronic media. Others may see it as an intersecting space with roots in post-Cageian music practice, or indeed 'post-phonographic' music practice, and installation art."
-- Julian Knowles then Professor of Music and Head of the School of Music and Drama at the University of Wollongong, in an article entitled Sound Practice, Sound Thesis in RealTime No68, August / September 2005
What is Liquid Architecture?
Liquid Architecture is a sense specific festival, as opposed to art form specific. Occurring annually since 2000, Liquid Architecture celebrates the diverse methods of sound making and sound theory. It is our belief that listening is a vital activity, and one that is often overlooked within the dominance of visual media in our environment.
What will I hear?
A key objective is the promotion of artists practicing on the periphery of music and sound culture, particularly those with an experimental aesthetic and a critical approach to (media) cultures. The artistic content of the festival focuses upon and privileges sound practice in all its manifestations but, due to the cross disciplinary potential of sound, many other art practices are included in the festival. Liquid Architecture focuses on any and all art forms involving particular emphasis on the auditory, including an exciting mix of musical performance, AV presentations and installation work, along with a strong critical element involving panels, workshops and artist talks.
Who's it for?
Now coming into its eighth consecutive year, Liquid Architecture strives to combine the fragmented communities in which sound arts practices occurs, striving for cross disciplinary appreciation and critique. The practical objective of this strategy is to popularise and publicise sound culture through greater aggregate audience size and a higher profile, and to make sound culture more accessible to the community, particularly to youth and student audiences. Audiences currently include those engaged with contemporary creative practice, sound arts practitioners, music industry professionals, electronic music concert goers, academics, cultural theorists and students (post & undergraduate), youth audiences and enthusiasts of adventurous popular music.
Liquid Architecture aims to popularise sound culture, particularly with young/emerging content producers within Australia's active student culture, in order to build not only future audiences but also future artists. Our rationale reflects an intense engagement with specialist and broader cultures, and the desire to make a contribution to those cultures. Sound practice is often cross disciplinary and the festival should reflect that, not only in the work presented but in the broad range of audiences it attracts.
The opportunities to network with national and international artists are an important means of generating future initiatives and cross cultural collaborations. The community is being exposed to some of the most exciting explorations occurring within sound culture that also happen to intersect with the media and fine arts. The exposure generated by Liquid Architecture is crucial in developing new audiences for the many discreet sound and experimental music communities currently operating around the country, and internationally.
Who's responsible?
Liquid Architecture is curated by practicing sound artists. Directed by Nat Bates, who heads the ((tRansMIT)) sound collective, and co-directed with Ben Byrne and Shannon O'Neill from alias frequencies and Lawrence English from ROOM40. The Artefacts of Australian Experimental Music CD launch is presented by Shame File Music.
Ben and Shannon have fostered a Sydney home at the Performance Space, Lawrence works closely with the Brisbane Powerhouse, and in Melbourne the festival is once again supported by RMIT Union Arts and returns again to the Arts House at the North Melbourne Town Hall.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its principal arts funding and advisory body.
The Sydney season is supported by Arts NSW, Melbourne by Arts Victoria.
Pauline Oliveros and Ione's visit has been made possible through the Alt.Music Festival under The Audio Foundation New Zealand, and in co-operation with the Fulbright association.
Runzelstirn & Gurgelstock and Dave Philips' visit is supported by Pro Helvetia and dual plover.
Cellule d'Intervention Metamkine's visit is supported by the French Embassy and Alliance Francaise.

Inspired by German architect Friedrich Kiesler's interest in the interrelationships between people culture and space, with a particular focus on the role of sound in this regard, the exhibition presents four individual installation works, all of which create singular spaces in the gallery while at the same time intermingling with one another, their environment and their subjects. In encountering each work, the line between audience, artwork and gallery blurs, challenging us to confront the continuity that exists between all three as well as, more broadly, art and life itself.
Tracts is curated by Ben Byrne. Former director of the Electrofringe and Liquid Architecture festivals Ben is an electronic musician, improvisor and artist currently undertaking a PhD on the nature of sound. The show also features the work of Adam Costenoble (Sydney), Matt Chaumont (Sydney) and Thembi Soddell (Melbourne). Musicians and gallery artists, Adam Costenoble and Matt Chaumont have both received Helen Lempriere Art Prize Awards, alongside Thembi Soddell who has released several albums and most recently performed at the Melbourne International Biennale of Exploratory Music.

Fresh from North American tour and LOAD records showcase at SXSW Lucas Abela is launching his new JUSTICE YELDHAM LP; BIRTHDAYS. The record consists of two live sets by the maverick amplified-glass player recorded during his & Keg's recent tour of Europe.Side A was captured in Marseille on the eve of Justice's 35th birthday while side B was recorded on Kegs birthday in Porto, and to top off the birthday cheer Keg also drew the cover illustration as a gift for Justice's Birthday. The record has been collaboratively released in an edition of 600 copies across the world by Anarchymoon Recordings (North America), Turgid Animal (Europe) & All Thumbs Press (Australia). Of which only 25 or so are in the country as All Thumbs copies practically sold out during the aforementioned tour and will only be available at the show.
His sets have been described as "a trumpet player trapped in a two dimensional universe". By pressing his face and lips against the glass whist employing various vocal techniques ranging from throat singing to raspberries, he turns disguarded household windows into crude musical instruments. Resulting in a wide variety of cacophonous noises that are strangely controlled and oddly musical.
Justice Yeldham is the latest alter-ego of Australian sound performer Lucas Abela, whose past sonic experiments were conducted under monikers like A Kombi, Dj Smallcock & Peeled Hearts Paste. Initially classed as an experimental turntablist, although his early work rarely resembled anything in the field. Early feats, saw him stab vinyl with Kruger style stylus gloves, bound on electro acoustic trampolines, drag race the popemobile across Sydney Harbour Bridge, perform deaf defying duet duels with amplified samurai swords, hospitalised by high powered turntables constructed from sewing machine motors, record chance John Peel sessions with the Flaming Lips, & be Otomo Yoshihides' favourite entry into his Ground Zero remix competition; 'Consummation' even though instead of sampling the CD he destroyed it using amplified skewers!
He also founded and runs dualpLOVER (recording label, cd/dvd replicators, distributor and promoter of gigs and tours). Principally a live audio artist he's been performing professionally for the past 14 years, ever since Oren Ambarchi and Robbie Avenaim stumbled across his late night radio performances in 1994 and asked him to play their 2nd What is Music? Festival. Since he's toured the world extensively, performing in 35 coutries.
also appearing are MC PURPLE DUCK, Curse Ov Dialect with an all new show and the always entertaining Hi-God people + dj hate.

As founder and former front man of Ultravox! until 1979, and subsequently via his solo projects, John Foxx's work has helped pave the way for a generation of electronic musicians. His debut album, 1980's Metamatic, is today regarded of one of the most pioneering albums in electronic music and created a new wave blueprint for the likes of The Human League, Gary Numan, Duran Duran and, in more recent years, The Faint to follow. Metamatic hit a cultural vein again 20 years later when Ladytron, Adult, Tiga and co were drawn to its minimalist, analogue approach. ]]>
As founder and former front man of Ultravox! until 1979, and subsequently via his solo projects, John Foxx's work has helped pave the way for a generation of electronic musicians. His debut album, 1980's Metamatic, is today regarded of one of the most pioneering albums in electronic music and created a new wave blueprint for the likes of The Human League, Gary Numan, Duran Duran and, in more recent years, The Faint to follow. Metamatic hit a cultural vein again 20 years later when Ladytron, Adult, Tiga and co were drawn to its minimalist, analogue approach.
In the 90s, John worked with Tim Simenon (Bomb The Bass) and LFO, while some of the major electronic acts of that period, such as Aphex Twin, Leftfield and Dave Clarke, were also fans. Ever exploring audio and visual concepts, John's work continues through to the present day, including collaborations with Harold Budd, Robin Guthrie (Cocteau Twins) and his ongoing recording and live performance relationship with Louis Gordon, with John's graphics, films and photographic images being exhibited in several major international cities including New York and London, as well as gracing the front covers of books by Salman Rushdie, Jeanette Winterson and Anthony Burgess.
John's projects have included the ongoing Cathedral Oceans and 2006's instrumental concept album Tiny Colour Movies, both of which John has performed live, accompanied by continuous visuals.
Today John Foxx is held with high regard in the electronic music scene. While still lecturing in art and design and working as an exhibiting artist, John's music has been cited as influential from bands as diverse as The Klaxons – clearly indicating that his music still maintains the mysterious magnetism and splendour that shaped a generation of music fans and bands alike, almost 30 years ago.
Coinciding with the critically acclaimed recent release of a remastered Metamatic and the proposed New Year release of a compilation of John's works, John is embarking on a tour of Australia presenting both live performances of his current work and back catalogue, together with performances of Tiny Colour Movies at selected venues, with the following confirmed dates:

4pm, Sunday 25th November, 2007
Level 1, 124a Johnston St Fitzroy 3065 (just east of Brunswick St).
Yes indeed, the final Dorkbot Melbourne for 2007 is on this Sunday, spread
the word!
This month's presentations range from synthetic birds in swampy wetlands to
wireless ultrasonic rangefinding with Arduinos, read on for more. Everyone
with an interest in doing strange things with electricity is invited to come
along and check out the presentations and participate in lively discussion.
Bring your friends. Bring drinks and nibblies of your choice. Scheduled
talks are outlined below.
This Sunday we'll be sharing out some Arduino serial and piggyback boards
(no electronics) kindly donated by Marcus Schappi from Little Bird
Electronics (http://www.littlebirdelectronics.com/).
As usual there will be an opportunity for anyone to spend a couple of
minutes explaining what they're up to, promoting related activities and
events, or requesting help. You're welcome to just turn up and ask on the
day, but feel free to let us know in advance. Also, please get in touch with
us at ( dorkbotmelbourne@dorkbot.org ) if you'd like to present something at
a future dorkbot.
::: Common Sounds installation :::
Steve Adam
Steve will talk about his Common Sounds installation, which was set in the
Sale Common Wetland Reserve (Gippsland) for the WaterWater Festival in
November 2005. The installation uses real-time generated synthetic
multichannel audio which was diffused in a swampy wetland setting. The
system was self-powered and involved numerous technical challenges. The
installation's sounds include a range of synthetic birds and insects. Check
out the mp3 link below for a preview:

::: Active Wireless Ultrasonic Rangefinder :::
Ross Bencina & Danielle Wilde
This talk will discuss the design and construction of an ultrasonic
rangefinding system built as part of a recent residency at Steim Amsterdam
by Ross, Danielle and Somaya Langley. The idea was to create a wireless
system for measuring the distance between performers by timing ultrasonic
pings from one unit to another. Each range finder unit uses an Arduino and
has two separate ultrasonic sender and receiver circuits. The units use
Nordic Semiconductor NRF2401 digital wireless radios to synchronise and
transmit data back to a basestation. Ross and Danielle will discuss the
successes and limitations of the project to date.

Syntax is a "demo party". In other words,
-> it is an opportunity to enter your work into competitions for demos, music, graphics, and animations
-> a chance to chill out and watch demos; to listen to demomusic and to hang out / meet with other demosceners
-> a place where you can get back to your computery roots; to again enjoy that trusty old computer you grew up with
-> a place to find out more about realtime animation, tracked music, and what this demoscene stuff is all about
A demoparty has an emphasis on creativity with computer code, graphics and music. Depending on size, a few (or a few hundred of) visitors bring their computers and set them up on location. Attendants are encouraged to compete in shceduled competitions (referred to by demosceners as 'compos'). Spread across the duration of the event, these compos are categorised in a way that allow the attendants to showcase their artistic talents with the use of computers.
In short: a demoparty is a real-time multimedia arts festival that usually lasts for several days. Except you make the art!
