'STILL AGITATED' - 13/02/2016

'Still Agitated' is a conceptual improvisation by Todd Anderson-Kunert, requiring five drummers and five noiseicians to surround the edges of the room, and follow simple visual and audible directives as they spread from one performer to the next. 

Drummers:
Joe Talia
Nat Grant
Llara Goodall
Leo Kavanagh
Michael McNab

Noisicians:
Todd Anderson-Kunert
Ciarán Geoghegan
Carey Knight
Mark Groves
Spasmoslop

Evening also includes supporting sets from:
Xenosine
The Vainglories

$10 Entry.

NOTE: I'm not entirely sure how much room is left in Conduit Arts Initiative after we fill it with five drum kits and five amplifiers / noise rigs, but the venue was chosen for its potential intimacy and intensity.

-------------------------------------

Thanks Todd AK and Conduit! This should be real cool... it's kinda like a human feedback loop laser beam going around until we melt the floor. Some really sick players in this and I'm thrilled to be laser beaming with them.. and the only idiot using a performing name!

HOLY BONER @ MIUC 18th Birthday! - 05/01/2016

The Make It Up Club has been committed to nurturing, presenting and promoting avant-garde improvised music and sound performance since 1998, making it one of the longest continually-running improv nights in the world. 2016 sees our Club reach the numerically momentous 18-year milestone, so we cordially invite you to partake in the sort of annual aleatoric festivities befitting an improv night who’s just reached legal voting/tattooing/drinking age. The Club is undeniably a sonically variegated beast, so four diverse assemblages of stupendous spontaneous soundmakers have offered to fill each Tuesday at Bar Open with brutal jubilations and textural exaltations. 

The first week features three of Melbourne’s rowdiest ‘rock’ groups eschewing their usual composed fare for some intense indeterminacy with a special guest noisemaker each - with proto-metal boogie shredders Power featuring cacophonous guitar deity Dave Brown, post-punk-flavoured-garage punx Cable Ties featuring boyzIImencore tapemangler Llara Isabell Arena, and the recently resurfaced unrelenting noisecore devastation of Holy Boner (duo) featuring bonus electrodensities from Todd Anderson-Kunert and James Tolman.

January 5th

- Power feat. Nathan Williams (Guitar, Voice), Isaac Ishadi (Bass) & Penke Ethman (Drums) w/ Dave Brown (Guitar, Electronics)

ZAC KEILLER
Zac Keiller seeks to discover new and unique sonic textures from one of the most overused and unimaginatively approached instruments in Western music: The guitar. The majority of his previous releases saw him working with ambient textures or electroacoustic improvisation. Whilst more recent efforts have seen him limiting the use of pedals, attempting to find a kind of transcendence through stark purity of tone, using the entire guitar, attempting to make it breathe with no smoothing out of the rough edges or slick over processing. The compositions vary and grow to tell stories and create mood, with an atmosphere in parts epic wall of sound, while at others minimal and sublime.
