In Double Double, celebrated dancers and choreographers Jo Lloyd and Deanne Butterworth are joined by interdisciplinary artists Evelyn Ida Morris and Tina Havelock Stevens—each on drums—in an epic meeting of four performers where spontaneous compositions and formations emerge out of a physical and sonic mania. Over the course of two hours, the performers lap through time and space as their personas merge, separate and collide. Motion and noise slap against each other as tension escalates, making for a riveting sensory experience.

Improvisation, at its best, is a living experience; a timbrel, textural, visceral approach to music making. With one foot in the past, and one foot in the future, the players give and take in equal measure, building a collective response to moment. This evening of ‘in-the-moment’ collaborations explores a global history of art music, folk music’s, and western classical music.

Led by sound artist Gail Priest and designer Thomas Burless, this workshop will reveal some of the processes and research they explored while creating the performance installation.
"A continous self-vibrating region of intensities". Offering ear-opening and hands-on experiences, the workshop will explore some of the physical properties of acoustic and amplified sound by conducting non-empirical experiments into manifesting sound visually and tangibly. Participants are invited to bring acoustic (voice or instrument) or some digital sample material of their own to play with in conjunction with a number of kinetic installation objects. Open to all levels of experience: curiosity is the only pre-requisite.

Steep Street is proud to present it's first ever show. We're hoping this will be the first of many events to celebrate the work of local, emerging and visiting artists with the focus on the experimental.
Our first show features:
InLärm (Blue Mountains)
MP Hopkins (Sydney)
Lint (Blue Mountains)

SOFT PEDAL is a night of electronic and experimental sound work curated by artist George Tillianakis and featuring performances by artists David Haines & Joyce Hinterding, Peter Blamey, Del Lumanta, and Chris Petro.
Performances will experiment with various forms of technology to generate sound and imagery, through diverse and abstract expressions. Our performers will experiment with abstract expressions to create immersive sound and imagery through new technology.

A fusion of musical landscapes encapsulating the very essence of art culture and history. Two instruments the didgeridoo and the violin hand crafted from the trees of the earth that together transcend upon a common musical ground creating a tonal and melodically grounding journey of rhythmic energy. Like the river flow of life the bird calls of ancient whispers call out from the great escarpment of the Australian landscape to the oceans of our earth and to the universe beyond.

Trevor Brown conducts moving feast of musicians picked from the cream of Sydney's improvising community.
S.I.C.K.O stands for Sydney Improvised Composer's Kollectiv Orchestra - a large ensemble conducted with hand gestures by Trevor Brown. The focus is on improvisatory conducting techniques, based on work by various systems created by Karlheinz Stockhausen, Butch Morris, Frank Zappa, John Zorn and Walter Thompson.

Matt Earle is a legendary figure in Australian experimental music circles, known for his bands (including Stasis Duo, xnobbqx, Club Sound Witches), his founding of hotbed communal noise spaces (like Real Bad Music and Life Groove), and for his bewitchingly-unclassifiable label imprint Breakdance the Dawn that has released hundreds of cassettes by Australian artists all packaged in Matt’s signature black-and-white photocopied style.

Ephemera Quartet is led by Keyna Wilkins (piano/flute/compositions) with Elsen Price (double bass/loop pedal), Will Gilbert (trumpet) and Carl St Jacques (viola) and includes freely improvised pieces. The quartet is accompanied by a soundtrack of outer-space electromagnetic waves recorded by NASA and complied by astronomer Professor Paul Francis. The music is complimented by projections of space probe footage. Each member brings their own unique voice to the ensemble drawing from a multitude of musical backgrounds, combining to create a distinctive soundscape that organically reacts to stellar concepts. Universe and Universality.
