About the Tyndall Assembly

The Tyndall Assembly will provide an opportunity for artist and composers from all backgrounds (independent, academic and organisations) to come together and present original works in a series of concerts to take place throughout the year.

Curated by artist, composer and performer Tristan Louth-Robins, the concerts will provide an opportunity for composers, performers and audiences to experience and participate in contemporary experimental arts.

The concerts will each focus on a particular experimental art aesthetic such as improvisation, installation and hybrid performance (i.e. music and dance.)

Providing opportunities for Adelaide sound artists, the Tyndall Assembly presents its final concert in its landmark 2007 experimental music series.

Concert #4 in the experimental electronic music series presents eclectic live performances from Edward Kelly and a collaboration between Jason Sweeney and Tristan Louth–Robins. The final concert in the 2007 series will also present Alvin Lucier's seminal electro-acoustic work I am sitting in a room (1970).

Edward Kelly is a local musician and electronic music composer working primarily in the fields of live electronics and sound art. Kelly will be use the modular synthesis software Plogue Bidule as an instrument to control captured sounds and generated noise in real-time. These sounds will be manipulated during the performance to create a contrast between meditative, ambient and chaotic atmospheres. www.littlevegtables.blogspot.com

Jason Sweeney & Tristan Louth-Robins present Work Pidgeons, a collaboration fostered over a hundreds of kilometers. The work is the result of a series of sonic transactions sent back and forth via email between Sweeney in Melbourne and Louth-Robins in Adelaide. Presented in its successive stages of evolution the composition Work Pidgeons takes its title from one of the original 'seed' audio samples of pidgeons whilst alluding to the metaphorical function of email technology as a 'carrier' of information. www.soundslikesweeney.com www.tristanlouthrobins.blogspot.com

Alvin Lucier's seminal electro-acoustic work I am sitting in a room (1970) incorporates human speech and a process of feedback in order to articulate the resonant frequencies of the performance space. A highly important work in the history of electro-acoustic and electronic music, I am sitting in a room will be presented faithfully to the work's original intention, albeit with a unique variation. http://alucier.web.wesleyan.edu/
