re-sound vs clan analogue


A unique encounter between re-sound and one of Australia's most innovative electronic music collectives: clan analogue.

Performed at Gertrude's Brown Couch in Fitzroy, this one-off event immersed its audience in a sea of sound waves, noises, rhythms, and fragments of strange melodies.  The works were developed collaboratively by artists from the two organisations and  look at the many aspects of combining electronic arts with live performance.

Clan Analogue artists include Winduptoys, Koshowko, Apell, The Good Omen, Nick Wilson, Anne Scott, plus music by Thomas Reiner and a guest trio made up of Brea Acton, David O'Brien and Tom Dunstan.
