Sheets of Sound is a performance portfolio of three new works for percussion and electronics, developed to sit at the nexus of concert performance and art installation. Each work explores the instrumentality of metal, paper, plastic, crystal and/or glass instruments, objects and surfaces, via sculptural setups spatially arranged throughout the performance space. Each setup is further diversified by electronics. The three works are:
Percipience: After Kaul by Louise Devenish and Stuart James
Permeating Through the Pores of Shifting Planes by Annie Hui-Hsin Hsieh
Catacomb Body Double by Matthias Schack-Arnott
Funded by the Australia Council for the Arts (Development grant, 2018).
