Stevie Wishart (Australia)

Wed 14 Feb 2001

Tracking

20.00 till 20.45
(live sound installation and performance) Bay 1

 


 

The work explores music and technology going back to c.1000 and fast-forwards into contemporary sound-worlds. In The Wire (July 2000), Stevie's solo work for LMC's (London Musician's Collective) 9th festival of experimental music at London's South Bank, was described as "an imposing sonic edifice … sharpened by the ringing and clanging tones she brought out of the instrument (her hurdy-gurdy)…gradually the piece became a very peculiar hybrid, with shades of Trance and Prog. Rock." 

 

For the NRLA Stevie will be using hurdy-gurdy, violin, electronics and voice with sound and visuals designed especially for the distinctive space of the Arches.
