More info
Experimental sound is a particular genre of music that is elusive to many; it is a genre where people explore sounds outside general rules of composition and assembly to create an unaccustomed type of music. This exhibition offers a discourse of experimental sounds via different forms of media incorporating sculpture, installation and film and is to challenge traditional sensibilities as to what quantifies as music.

OPENING NIGHT PERFOMANCES: Dale Chapman, Marco Cher-gibard, Rodney Cooper, Mark Groves & Sharryn Koppins (Dick Threats), Vijay Thillaimuthu.

ARTIST OVERVIEWS
Rod Cooper:
Sculptor, performer and sound artist - “The object becomes the composition”.
Rod Cooper became interested in instrument building while completing his fine art degree in 1988 at Victoria College, Prahran campus.
The noisy construction environment of the metal sculpture workshop increased his awareness for the potential of visual sculptures to become musical objects. As a result, over the last two decades Rod has developed a distinctive instrument building and performance practice which he adapts for various contexts such as music festivals, within gallery installations and touring. The ongoing development of the artist’s metal craft skills has facilitated the creation of complex musical instruments that expand the physical relationship between the body, form and space. The realization for sculpture to define space through sound is the driving force behind his creative practice. The exploration of sonic form and physical form is more than coincidence the two are inextricably linked. His sound compositions come from the objects he builds. The Object becomes its own composition. Rodney has exhibited, toured and played extensively nationally and internationally with highly acclaimed reviews and performances from places as the National Gallery of Victoria, to being filmed and aired by ABC Television. Rodney also has several audio releases.

John Waller
John Waller is an Australian artist working in new media installation and screen based culture. His current practice focuses on the production of computer animation, video and sound for projection and installation projects. John's art career began in the late 1970s, following his studies at the Queensland College of Art, Brisbane, where he majored in painting. By the early eighties his practice had moved to include other media and by the end of the eighties, his practice was primarily focussed on computer based multi-media works and installations. In 2008 he completed a PhD by project in the School of Art at RMIT, Melbourne, Over the last three decades John has exhibited in some seventy group and solo exhibitions, both in Australia and internationally. In support of his work he has received grants and funding from government agencies including the Digital Media Fund (Film Victoria), Arts Queensland, the Australian Film Commission and the Australia Council. In addition to his PhD, John's other qualifications include an Advanced Diploma in Electronic Design and Interactive Media (RMIT), and certificates in Training and Instructional Skills.
