A new live music experience not to be missed – sonic, physical and expansive.

Presented in the John Kaldor Family Hall, contemporary musicians Chuck Johnson and JWPATON will perform their newly commissioned musical work Tangled mirror yarn, featured as part of the exhibition Sol LeWitt: Affinities and Resonances, a collaboration between Kaldor Public Art Projects and the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

Created through the digital ether and across the great ocean from their respective homes in Oakland, California, and Darug Country, St Marys in Western Sydney, Tangled mirror yarn is a swirling, anamorphic shift of euphoric distortions and clustered orchestral swells and peaks.

This one-off free performance sees this international collaboration between an American musician and a Yuin musician realised live at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

JWPATON is a Yuin musician based in Darug Country, Western Sydney. He uses alternative sounds and field recordings from both the natural and the human-made worlds to create a rich, time-stretched padded ambience.

Chuck Johnson is a composer from Oakland, California. He works with faults and instabilities in composition that might reveal latent beauty. He performs with a focus on pedal steel guitar, experimental electronics, and alternate tuning systems, and composes for film and television.
