‘The Ear is a Brain’ will contain, inscribed in its grooves, a series of vibrational (made of sound) and conceptual (addressing sound) experiments. ‘The Ear is a Brain’ is an artist’s record. It is not the documentation of a work of art or sound. The record is the work of art. We take inspiration from the history of ‘sound art’ anthologies, notably Audio Arts.

LIQUID ARCHITECTURE is an Australian organisation for artists working with sound. LA investigates the sounds themselves, but also the ideas communicated about, and the meaning of, sound and listening.

THE LISTENING BIENNIAL draws attention to listening as a relational capacity, a philosophical and political proposition, a creative practice, and research framework. From radical empathy to weak ontology, poetic refusal to diasporic resistance, eavesdropping to intimate envelopment, listening wields a creative and critical force that may contribute to maintaining the diversity of our social adventure.

Saint Teresa's 16th Century texts meet sonic habitats for yoga classes

Brain Of Europe
11 March 2016
Polyester Records, Melbourne

Berlin-based duo ‘The Brain of Europe’ is an experimental collaboration between Merja Kokkonen (FIN) of Islaja and Jasmine Guffond (AUS). Beginning with Islaja’s Finnish interpretation of Saint Teresa’s 16th Century texts and Jasmine’s interest in creating sonic habitats for yoga classes, ‘The Brain of Europe’ is gradually developing into a sonically unique, hypnotic, potentially transcendental, structurally leaning, partially improvised, ambient music.

This recording was taken from their recent in-store performance at Polyester Records, Melbourne.

Monash University Museum of Art, Melbourne

Presented by Liquid Architecture and the Monash University Museum of Art | MUMA

In an attempt to preference the aural over the visual in our dreaming, Gail has been speculating as to what art in the future will sound like. The result is a body of ficto-critical material that explores the Future Human — the integration of technology and biology resulting in trans- and post-human conditions; and the Future City — the exploitation of the sonic potentials of the new cities we imagine. 

For this performance, Gail Priest created a live mash-down of her sonic speculations, offering a fractured forecast of the future of listening.

Gail Priest is a sound artist based in Katoomba (NSW) making experimental audio that explores the interaction of the figurative and the abstract, the machinic and the organic, the spoken and the ineffable. Recently she has been attempting to find a mode that brings together both her practice as a sound maker and as sound writer. This has manifested in the three year project 'Sounding the Future' (2014-2017), and continues with her investigations into a poetic language of listening explored in her upcoming commission for Experimenta Make Sense (October 2017). Originally trained in theater she has worked as a sound designer/composer for dance and theater works, exhibits audio installations and releases experimental music in multiple formats. She is also a curator and writes extensively about sound and media arts, in particular for RealTime magazine, and was the editor of 'Experimental Music: audio explorations in Australia' through UNSW Press (2009).
