Ravishing beauty, loving the entangled long notes. Great! Would like to try this piece on recorders ;)

Many thanks  for this beautiful track -- I hear hints of the opening of Ravel's "Daphnis and Chloe, Suite 2" (perhaps I am hearing hints that are not there!) which makes it all the more lovely.  Thanks again!

Magnificent sounds, so totally immersive, so utterly captivating, so soaring

The concept for this playlist came from the idea of the human relationships that underpin all creative practices. How we interact with one another is the foundation of live performance and inherent to the process of creating new music. This month’s playlist was curated by Making Waves team member Marlēné Claudine Radice @marlene-claudine-pringle-radice 

The pieces featured in this month’s playlist explicitly highlight what it means to to relate to ones humanity through music. Whether it be through the physical body such as Caerwen Martin’s exploration of the relationship between mother and child or Mark Holdsworth’s musical depictions of Frida Kahlo’s self portraits.

A fundamental part pf human relationships and identity stems from our ability to act and think autonomously. The notion of what it means to be an autonomous individual is examined by Rishin Singh and Sophie Van Dijk. Both pieces by these composers explore how individuals react to one another in various situations, how the human and an individual can shape and mould their performance.

Aaron Pelle and Antonia Zappia’s works depict a subtler aspect of the humanity inherent to music composition, the ideas expressed though emotion and how these ideas form, reform and collapse into each other. These ideas are extended further in Joseph Tabua’s work as he depicts our relationship between what it means to be human and how we as humans relate to the idea of consciousness within our creations.

Take some time to delve into adventure, art, the self and robots.

Enjoy!

Bach - Alle Menschen Müssen Sterben  BWV 643 2

Conversation with Lleah Smith about the project FUTURE SCHOOL developed with Year 3-6 students at the Kandos Public School as a creative re-imaging of the traditional classroom, followed by the experiences of 'home-schooling' during the Covid-19 lockdowns. FUTURE SCHOOL is a framework on how to work with young people so their voices and opinions are heard, valued, and incorporated into the decision making processes. It is a project that builds and develops young people’s confidence, questions the hierarchies of knowledge and the function of the school within the community.  

FUTURE SCHOOL was presented as part of the 2022 Cementa Festival in Kandos NSW, on the Wiradjuri country where my conversation with Lleah was recorded.

Conversation with choreographer Eliza Cooper about the making of the Bat Lake, a 50 minute dance work that celebrates the dark and theatrical world of bats. We speak about: the ways these creatures’ behaviour and anatomy has been translated into movement; how the music joined the piece; how the costumes were made; and how David Lynch's Twin Peaks sipped into the work...

The work is premiering at the Riverside Theatres in Parramatta on 13 October 2022 as part of Form Dance Projects: https://riversideparramatta.com.au/show/bat-lake/

This conversation was originally aired on Eastside Radio on 26 September 2022.

Sympoiesis EP35: Eliza Cooper (Bat Lake)

The second lecture in the Mahmoud Alnaouq lecture series was presented by Angelita Biscotti, a tutor and lecturer at the University of Melbourne. This lecture explores the liberatory potential of psychoanalysis using decolonial reworkings of key psychoanalytic concepts such as transference, resistance and free association. The lecture discusses two cases from Lara and Stephen Sheehi's "Psychoanalysis Under Occupation: Practicing Resistance in Palestine." 

Mahmoud Alnaouq was a recipient of an Australia Awards scholarship who had listed the University of Melbourne as his first preference for a Master of International Relations. He would have been with us on campus today, but the Zionist Israeli regime killed him, along with 19 members of his family, in the town of Deir Al Balah last October. The Mahmoud Alnaouq lecture series is held in his honour outside Mahmoud's Hall, formerly known as Arts West, in the University of Melbourne.

Yeehaw is the voluntary journey to the underworld that transforms Sir Hideous Playful from simply paying lip-service to the redemptive process of brave optimism to actually living it. Much of him must be burned away like deadwood.  What will survive?

Kindred Spirits

The Robot was inspired by English writer and philosopher Colin Wilson. Interestingly, Wilson’s oeuvre explores the heights and depths of consciousness. "The robot is a servant, a valet. A type of servant who does things for you. So you learn something like talking French, driving a car or skiing, painfully and consciously, step by step. Then the robot takes it over and does it far more quickly and efficiently than you could do it consciously. However, the important thing is not to interfere with the robot once he has learned it because you'll completely screw him up if you do. Now the problem is the robot does all these valuable things like talking French and so on for us. The trouble is that he also does the things we do not want him to do."

The Robot (For Colin Wilson)by Joseph Tabua (2018)

"Towards Adventure" is a 'choose-your-own-adventure' style structured improvisation. Performers make their own way through the piece by following different paths. One leads to a pit of spiders while the other leads to a crystal cave. The goal for this piece was to give performers the freedom to respond to one another, and to explore how sound travels through the performance space.

This is a live recording of the premiere of the arrangement at 'Aftersound' at the Verge Gallery, 2 June 2018.
Performed by Marcus Whale, Rainbow Chan, Isabella Fiorentino and Oscar Saran.

June 2018.

Making Waves is a monthly series of curated playlists streaming one hour of quality, new composed music.  Founded in 2015, Making Waves shines a spotlight on the music of Australian composers. Fresh playlists are released on the first day of each month and older playlists are made available all year round via our archives; perfect for those with just a few minutes to explore one track or for hours perusing a myriad of diverse sound-worlds.


The project offers wider exposure to emerging composers, their music and the talented performers who champion it. We also provide an easy-to-access platform for listeners to sit back and enjoy a curated hour of exciting new music or explore our living composers more actively.  The playlist themes (and media through which they’re shared eg. Soundcloud, YouTube) evolve each month depending on the content received directly from our talented composers.

At its core Making Waves is a curated listening space. In 2016 we branched into producing our own content through a special project, Making Conversation, thanks to a successful crowdfunding campaign. Making Conversation: Australian Composers Project is a series of podcasts and vodcasts presenting the human side of living Australian composers, released on popular audiovisual and social platforms mid-2017.
Composers Lisa Cheney (Melbourne) and Peggy Polias (Sydney) are curating this project.

 Listeners, we encourage you to explore current and past playlists and discover more about our featured composers. 

Composers, we encourage you to send us links to your streamable audio via our website. Visit: www.makingwavesnewmusic.com for more information.

Australian composer, artist and researcher - based in Sydney, Australia.
