Found Sound: Joyce Hinterding and Lawrence English

Saturday 26 October 2013, 3pm
MUMA
Free entry

Joyce Hinterding will perform using custom-made VLF (very low frequency) loop antennae and a radio scanner to source electromagnetic energy from the surrounding environment.

Lawrence English works in a range of spheres including electronic-based composition and field recordings—capturing sounds as delicate as sand grains in motion or as remote as the winds of Antarctica.

Found Sound

In parallel to the exhibition Reinventing the Wheel: The Readymade Century, MUMA presents a series of live performances in the museum by Australian musicians and sound artists. Inspired by the seminal 'silent piece' by John Cage, 4'33" 1952—footage of which is included in the exhibition—Found Sound picks out some of contemporary music's synergies with the impact of the readymade within visual art.

Curated by Francis E. Parker
Presented in association with Melbourne Festival
