Embedded music residency - Hand to Earth

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

Experience Australian-based ensemble Hand to Earth as they perform new contemporary music created during the Embedded residency program.

Performing as a three piece, Daniel Wilfred, David Wilfred and Peter Knight will draw on the minimalist music of Brian Eno and Jon Hassell to create a bed for contrasting voice and instrumentation. Daniel Wilfred sings in language and is the keeper of Yolŋu manikay (songs) from North-East Arnhem Land that can be traced back over 40,000 years; his is the oldest continuously practised music tradition in the world.

During their residency, the trio have explored the Yiribana Gallery and composed new music to be performed in the space.
