Volume presents: Fixtures - Lisa Lerkenfeldt

  • Art Gallery of New South Wales North building, Meers Hall The Domain Sydney, NSW, 2000 (map)

Join Australian composer and performer Lisa Lerkenfeldt for a musical premiere at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

Lerkenfeldt’s ‘In the window of time’ was commissioned by the prestigious INA GRM in Paris, France. She made a series of recordings using a piano and a set of custom-made tape loops played back on a Nagra tape machine. In reference to monumental climate shifts in the Australian environment, Lerkenfeldt exposed the tape loops to the Australian sun for a year. The subsequent degradation of sound results in a tonality that drifts and breaks down over the course of a single live performance.

Volume presents: Fixtures expands on the success of the Art Gallery’s flagship music series Volume and continues our commitment to cutting-edge contemporary music.
