Axon by Speak Percussion's Bespoke Artists
Axon by Speak Percussion's Bespoke Artists
Axon is a weekend of sonic experiments and music conceived and presented by Speak Percussion’s Bespoke Artists. This intimate showcase features live performances of 12 interdisciplinary works, split into 4 concert programs across 3 days, at Darebin Arts Centre.
From synthesisers to erhu, experimental chamber orchestra to audio-visual performance-installation, witness these 12 inventive music makers share their newest ideas, fascinations and most recent artistic work.
Axons are the primary transmission lines of our nervous systems, which enable the communication of information between different parts of the body. This weekend of concerts aims to enable and encourage new connections and transmissions of information amongst and between the artists, their works and the audience.
Access note: This work includes a dynamic soundtrack and loud noises that may make it unsuitable for some viewers. Please reach out to our team if you would like to discuss this in more detail.
"Speak Percussion’s Bespoke Artists are some of the most inventive new music makers working in Melbourne. For the past 18 months, the presenting 12 artists have been supported by us and by each other, to take the next steps in their careers: to forge their own pathway and consolidate their own idiosyncratic vision for music making. Their Axon program of experiments and new works gives the broader community a wonderful opportunity to experience their fledgling ideas and artistic practices as they evolve and materialize. - Speak Percussion"
