Syncretism
Internationally acclaimed electronic improvisational outfit TIMEART will immerse Brisbane audiences in a night of intricate sound and vision when they headline Syncretism at Judith Wright Centre on Thursday 28 January 2010. Only 50 tickets are on offer for the next instalment of Syncretism, which will feature TIMEART, Norwegian duo Streifenjunko and Berlin-based Australian improvisers Clayton Thomas and Clare Cooper.

Curator Lawrence English (of renowned label ROOM40) says he is excited about bringing TIMEART to Brisbane.

“TIMEART – the International Ensemble for Intermedial Improvisation – is a vision of utter unity,” Lawrence said.

“The ensemble comprises renowned music and media activists from over 10 different countries who all share the same artistic goal: to fuse instruments, electronics and projections into one single artistic form of expression,” he said.

“I’m excited about bringing TIMEART to Brisbane; each artist in the ensemble is internationally renowned and visionary in the way they seek out new connections and possibilities through explorations of light, sound and space,” he said.

TIMEART features 30 international artists who perform in ever-changing constellations with 6-10 artists at a time. For their Brisbane performance, the TIMEART lineup will feature Germany’s Sven Hahne (laptop), Matthias Muche (trombone), Norway’s Kim Myhr (guitar) and France’s Michel Doneda (soprano saxophone). Joining TIMEART is Norwegian duo Streifenjunko who, in recent years, have toured Asia, Africa, USA and Europe to critical acclaim.

Streifenjunko’s expanded instrumental techniques utilising tenor saxophone and trumpet have scored them a lauded place alongside the world's finest avant garde players including Keith Rowe and Tetuzi Akiyama. Also on the Syncretism bill are Berlin-based Australian improvisers Clayton Thomas and Clare Cooper, who combine electronic and acoustic music aesthetics to create colourful textures and ambient soundscapes. While in Australia, Clare Cooper co-founded and directed the NOW now festival of spontaneous music and experimental film and worked with the likes of singer songwriter Darren Hanlon and producer Unkle Ho (The Herd) among others.
