Kids and carers are invited to create personal sound compositions while learning improvisation and field recording in this collaborative workshop.
Based on the idea of the sonic postcard, see and hear aspects of the world around you as artistic material for performance.
Participants will be sent out into the landscape of Bundanon to record sounds and document everyday movements and images to bring back into the space and use in a composition, performance, or sonic presentation.
Antonia Barnett-McIntosh (Kāi Tahu, Pākehā)
Antonia Barnett-McIntosh (Kāi Tahu, Pākehā) is a composer-performer, sound artist, editor, and curator based in Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa. She collaborates in cross arts spaces, gently tapping on the borders between speech/music, performance/rehearsal, composition/writing, and juxtaposing the formalities of presentation with the aesthetics of failure.
Antonia’s works with words investigate speech as music: the pitches, rhythms, intonations, conversational overlaps of our everyday. In varying formats, these speech works loosen expectations around ‘final product’: from text piece, transcription piece, installation, live approximation of performance, performance of an artist talk, to instrumental concert.
The Polyphonic Sea
The Polyphonic Sea presents the recent work of twelve artists from Aotearoa New Zealand. It explores the wealth of languages around us, from speech and writing, gesture and music, to the ongoing flow of communications from the natural environment.
