Linda May Han Oh:
Ephemeral Echoes

Bassist and composer Linda May Han Oh’s collaborative composition, Ephemeral Echoes, explores the transient nature of things – from the flickers of a firefly or the spectacle of the aurora borealis/australis, to planned obsolescence and objects designed to become obsolete like the iPhone or the incandescent light bulb.

Lior & Nigel Westlake:
Ngapa William Cooper

Singer-songwriter Lior and composer Nigel Westlake join forces with Lou Bennett to create a tribute to the life and actions of Aboriginal activist William Cooper. An extension of Lior and Westlake’s first creation together, the song cycle Compassion, this work reflects a real-life story embodying the very virtue Compassion examined.

Lisa Illean:
arcing, stilling, bending, gathering

Lisa Illean is an Australian composer of acoustic and acousmatic music, based in the UK. Her music has been praised for “exquisite quietness” and “compelling stillness”. She has conceived a new work for strings, piano and electronics that reflects on an ongoing desire through human history for moments of kinship and tenderness that counter the immensity of the world we inhabit.

Madeleine Flynn, Tim Humphrey & Jenny Hector:
DarkQuiet

DarkQuiet is an architectural sound and light installation by artists Madeleine Flynn, Tim Humphrey and Jenny Hector, created with the Australasian Dark Sky Alliance, Science Gallery Melbourne, and producer Erin Milne. It is designed for people to attune themselves to the nocturnal, navigating through a field calibrated to heighten our excitement for the subtle.

Mark Atkins & Erkki Veltheim:
Nightfalls

Nightfalls celebrates Mark Atkins' unique gifts as a poet, storyteller, singer-songwriter and didgeridoo virtuoso in a semi-staged program imagined as a gathering around a campfire.

Matthias Schack-Arnott:
Tethering

Driven by Matthias’ propulsive percussive playing, and made in collaboration with a team of leading designers, Tethering is a visceral, trashy and fun exploration of the materiality of sound.

Sunny Kim:
MotherTongue, MotherLand

In her new work, MotherTongue, MotherLand, Sunny Kim has assembled a stellar cast of musicians: Helen Svoboda, Aviva Endean, Mindy Meng Wang and Gelareh Pour. At the heart of their work is a poetic response to motherhood referencing the artists' and their mothers' experiences of migration, longing, belonging, joy, and pain.

William Barton:
Connection

Barton collaborates with a hand-picked ensemble of exceptional classical and jazz-fusion colleagues Simon Barker, Scott Tinkler, Véronique Serret and Chloe Kim in a new improvisational work.
