JON WATTS
Melbourne based producer, DJ and musician. Over the last decade Jon has traversed a number of styles as a live performer, including no-input mixing, free improvisation, and hardware techno experiments.

KALINDA VARY
Kalinda ’s practice explores ideas of emotionality, vulnerability and power, humour and humiliation, constraints of language and the problems with representations of identity. Her recent work concentrates on queer concerns of the body, performance within social structures and imposed cultural identities.

TARAB
explores re-contextualised collected sounds and tactile gestures formed into dynamic, psycho-geographical compositions inspired by discarded things, found things, crawling around in the dirt, junk, the ground, rocks, dust, wind, walking aimlessly, scratchy things, decay and most if not all the things he hears and sees. More than simply documenting a given site, tarab is interested in a direct engagement with our surrounds, teasing out half narratives, visceral sensation, false leads and heightened awareness.

New Low-key Loki-drones from GRIST...

entheogenic microloop punk-ambient


Long-time Melbourne experimental audiomancer A DEMON SHEEN's blackened mono layer-core project GRIST has just released another collection of entheogenic microloop punk-ambient shaman-jams, MONADS, released through underground Britain's SOMBRE SONIKS label.  Tiny found-sound loops coalesce, grain by grain, into heavy conglomoliths of disturbient mind-expansion, as the micronal found-sound schippettes weave together in moire-like webs of density and grace.

For the official press release, A DEMON SHEEN took the descriptions of other GRIST releases, and the Wikipedia entry for Leibniz's Monads, and ran it all through an online cut-up machine.  The resulting nonsense/magickal incantation is presented here in its entirety:

Monad is said minimalism. A universe of his system cognitive a focus on by perception and memory peel back of field potentiality and actuality.

Synch, has been type of element in zen gristian ritual knowing and without a from being of them is being coordinated monads with is said about is.

Greater clarity, spirits or reasonable can perceive is one, has created way, each substance in and spirits or into the (souls and spirits) perceive others to kreate three highly Evokative mere appearance.

This is generated, monads have power

Grist has further honed God’s infinite will. In accordance of name monad or or leads to a own personal their hypnotik layering of sounds deep trance is therefore indivisible".

These immersive mono. A permanent state, non-reasonable monad which controls 'programmed' in the building differences in Between substances a basic order lower ones that comes from harmony

From by continual fulgurations perspectives at recordings are, as one into (or more) interweaving declaring any is of the familiar the others. For the higher element facing nothingness indefinite – yet with of the infinite it a predetermined and all perspectives, dominate another in the universe, perfection single point

just one degree of all his power place in inward Shamanik journey through inducing reasonable.
The (entelechies) is valid gradually weave in corresponds to The thoughts—“simply are monads".
And minimalist waves drag and capturing a small the actions abyss rational souls. Whatever to unique over others because they a series rituals that took the material realm.

As none late unsynched loops. Finite – with all black being either were created through a gradual each other, recordings create mental/spiritual monads but each have universe sonics, recorded in

"[monads] are with zen. Within these with States! From thee Artist: 

“These recordings are "which nature . And described could take any is the solved the mind-body the minimalist repetition and entelechy' a unique way entered, resulting interaction between monads which many and ever-changing utter clarity.

A slow, real-time accretion world and only one necessary to act while imperfection is and take you on an substances individually clarity, except for redemption monad is often created out of of experience.

MIUC 210818 x Eavesdropping: Justice as Improvisation



“Law and jazz thus coa­lesce in the irres­o­lu­tion of the impro­vised act…” – Sara Ramshaw

https://eavesdropping.exposed/events/make-it-up-club-justice-as-improvisation

What has law got to do with impro­vi­sa­tion? What would it mean to impro­vise with or in law? What if impro­vi­sa­tion was essen­tial to law’s very oper­a­tion? What are the laws of improv?

As part of Eavesdropping, Liquid Architecture and Melbourne Law School are taking over Make it Up Club for a night of impro­vi­sa­tions in the key of justice.

Legal scholar Sara Ramshaw will recount the famous 1997 encounter between musician Ornette Cole­man and philoso­pher Jacques Der­rida and what this meeting might have to say about ideas of law and jus­tice.

Following this, Ramshaw will lead per­for­mances of Hydra, an exper­i­men­t in legal advo­cacy adap­ted from John Zorn’s clas­sic 1984 impro­vised musi­cal game piece Cobra. Hydra is at once about oral agility and deep lis­ten­ing. It is con­cerned with rules more than rhythms and prin­ci­ples more than pitches, but always the neces­sity of judg­ment to per­for­mance, no matter the con­text.

This event will also feature short performances by members of the ALL EARS Eavesdropping read­ing group includ­ing Bruce Mowson, Ceri Hann, Debris Facil­ity, Bryan Phillips, Klare Lanson, Thomas Keys, Georgina Crid­dle and Norie Neu­mark.

SARA RAMSHAW is an Asso­ciate Pro­fes­sor at the Uni­ver­sity of Vic­to­ria Fac­ulty of Law with a spe­cial inter­est in impro­vi­sa­tion. Her mono­graph, Jus­tice as Impro­vi­sa­tion: The Law of the Extem­pore (Rout­ledge 2013) exam­ined the legal reg­u­la­tion of jazz musi­cians in New York City (1940−1967) through the lens of post­struc­tural theory informed by feminism, critical race theory and crit­i­cal impro­vi­sa­tion stud­ies.
_

Liquid Archi­tec­ture is an Aus­tralian organ­i­sa­tion for artists work­ing with sound. LA inves­ti­gates the sounds them­selves, but also the ideas com­mu­ni­cated about, and the mean­ing of, sound and lis­ten­ing.

Eaves­drop­ping is a unique col­lab­o­ra­tion between Liquid Archi­tec­ture, Mel­bourne Law School and the Ian Potter Museum of Art, com­pris­ing an exhi­bi­tion, a public pro­gram, series of work­ing groups and tour­ing event which explores the pol­i­tics of lis­ten­ing through work by lead­ing artists, researchers, writ­ers and activists from Aus­tralia and around the world.

NEW DICE AMBIENT FROM UNDEAD MAGIC USER

Encounters on The Journey

 New RPG-core dice-ambient darkness from Australia's favourite undead magic user, Undead Magic User.  Although their previous three releases (And On That Terrible Throne, Handbook of Realms, and The Robe of Shadowlore) focused on layers of randomly-generated orchestral sounds moving in and out of synch and tonality, this new release focuses more on the cold dungeon-synth vibes of the very first album (Master of Dungeons) an album that was described by Resounding Footsteps as evoking "the most dreadful atmosphere ... giving the listener the feeling that the world they are in is vast beyond comparison but so dark at the same time that they can’t see two inches from their face").

However, although heavy in dungeon-synth vibes, Encounters on the Journey is not as staggeringly anti-life as the first release, instead exploring different textures, including regret (The Dark Halfling's Lament), anticipation (Preparing for the Great Journey), and the experience of being a crystal minotaur (Crystal Minotaur).  

It's specifically EQd for gaming over, it's as free as you want it to be, and it's available here.


More praise from Resounding Footsteps:

"The listener travels down in the dark, but to what point and purpose? Do they succeed? Do they succumb to the madness and terror that dwells hungrily in the dark? If the track titles are any indication, I don’t think the listeners are meant to make it out alive in this one. It’s a depressing tale of glory seeking fools who rush into the abyss without realizing the abyss has been waiting for them. I love dark fantasy and that’s exactly what this tale is. No matter what the listener-protagonist tries to do, they fail. Death is not even an option down here (because of, you know, undead magic users). Soon enough all of us will falter from the path and end up lost and alone, surrounded by living shadows and monsters so terrible that the light itself hides from them. The music is very clear throughout the entire album: we are at the mercy of the dungeon."
