Berlin-based musician and composer Jules Reidy has created a musical accompaniment to the 38th Kaldor Public Art Project 38, Thomas Demand: The Object Lesson.

The 30-minute work, Collage June 25, is an assemblage of musical forms derived from processed guitars and field recordings. It has been inspired by the planes, colours and volumes of German artist Thomas Demand’s extraordinary design for the Kaldor Project exhibition in the Naala Badu building, as well as by the artworks on display.

Hear this new piece of music and its variations on harmonic progression, Euclidean rhythmic passages and time-stretched materials in a series of live performances throughout the duration of the exhibition.  

Local musicians and sound artists Megan Alice Clune, Banana (Alexandra Spence & M Hopkins) and Mary Rapp will reinterpret Reidy’s score for their performances and Reidy will travel to Sydney to play their original composition live in January 2026.

These are not sit-down concerts, but chance sonic events encountered in the exhibition space – a soundtracked experience bridging music and art.
