"the dual heritage of Acoustic Ecology and experimental music—in foregrounding our aural perception of the Earth—seems more urgent than ever" David Dunn (2008)
A concert exploring the sounds and shapes of nature through a series of recent works by Western Australian composers. Alice Humphries, Cat Hope, Josten Myburgh, Rebecca Smith, Sze Tsang, Lindsay Vickery and Aaron Wyatt have created works interacting with field recordings, organic, visual and tactile forms of the environment using methods of interaction between “real” geological and biological structures found in the natural world and their “artificial” depiction and performance in the gallery. The project also features a new work by by Canadian composer Terri Hron - Mouth of a River [2021] inspired by the Hudson River and a new version of Austrian composer Elisabeth Schimana's Landscapes. These works search for ways in which “foregrounding our aural perception of the Earth” can positively contribute as a small shelter against the dissonance between human society and the natural world.

COVID-PONED
July 6 2021 GreyWIng: The Lost Key Linton and Kay Gallery We are very excited to announce that as part of NAIDOC Week, GreyWing will be performing a new work by Aaron Wyatt: The Lost Key. The Lost Key explores an old instrument in an old place. Weaving a sound-world from the interplay between recordings of an old harmonium and the instrumentalists in the space, it finds beauty in the broken: the underlying drone drawn from a faltering note on the harmonium. The performance will take place between 1:30 and 2:30 on Tuesday July 6 at Linton & Kay Galleries in the “Pickle District”, 11 Old Aberdeen Place, West Perth. We gratefully thank City of Vincent for commissioning and supporting the performance of this new work by the innovative and multi-talented Mr. Wyatt. |

The Sewing Room, Perth Arguments, babble, comments, dialogue, expressions: its only talk. Words have often driven music and this concert brings together recent local and international examples of "text in music". European sensations Jennifer Walshe and Cathy van Eck highlight the surreal possibilities of observation and declamation, Brisbane-based Vanessa Tomlinson and Eric Griswold explore memory and anticipation, while locals Annika Moses and Lindsay Vickery bring the personal and the political dimensions of words. The concert also features a new work by mercurial Paris/Perth performance artist Emmanuelle Zagoria.

14 November 2018 GreyWing: Ex Machina (works with mechanical recordings)
Old Customs House, Fremantle. An important thematic strand in GreyWing performances has been music featuring field recordings, images and other data from the natural environment. Ex Machina shifts this focus towards the anthropogenic soundworld of machines and the mechanical. The six works in this concert span 50 years of engagement with essential compositional issues of art/artifice, natural/synthetic, representational/abstract and music/noise through the juxtaposition of musical performance, sonic reproduction and manufactured sound. Californian Robert Erickson was one of the first to directly search for the “music in non-musical sounds” as the inspiration of music with acoustic instruments and electronics. He pioneered the use of analog spectrography to visualise the shapes of complex sound objects. His Nine and a Half for Henry (and Wilbur and Orville)and its sibling Pacific Sirens(performed by GreyWing in September) both employ scores hovering between traditional notation and a spectrogram. In the digital era, Peter Ablinger is perhaps the most obvious living heir to John Cage’s embrace of all sound – especially noise. Ablinger developed the concept of “Phonorealism” exploring the fidelity of sound reproduction as a subject by altering the grain of the grid used to replicate it – like the pixel size of a photograph. Joanna Bailie and James Saunders take almost opposing positions: Bailie reinforcing and then dissipating the illusion of a recording of Trainsand Saunders completely stripping electro-mechanical sounds of their physical context in instruments with recordings. Camilla Hannan is renowned for her sound and radiophonic work with recordings of machines and generously agreed to collaborate on a piece for this concert. Dane Yates turns his attention to a simple but very Australian machine – the keg spigot. 1.
