Lindsay Vickery has been a distinctive voice on the Western Australian New Music scene for nearly 20 years. He has been described as ‘truly an original voice and his work is of sustained intensity that resonates in the mind long after the performance is over’ (The Australian) and ‘always intriguing’ (The Wire). This concert is a retrospective of his chamber music from early works for the alea new music ensemble, through the Magnetic Pig years, to glimpses of future directions for this prolific composer, in the form of a newly commissioned work. The program touches on many of the composer’s preoccupations: musical collage, electronics, fractal structures, improvisation and text-based work. Performed by Perth group Guapo in collaboration with the composer and an array of fine musicians, Invisible Symmetries is a rare opportunity to hear the evolution of a unique musical voice.

M.Rösner aka Pablo Dali will present a new work based on real time laptop processing of field recordings and minimalist acoustic guitar interjections, creating a constantly evolving listening environment that echoes the organized chaos of the natural world.
Perth saxophonist Ben Phillips (Open Source Project / Direct Ascension / Doggox) presents RumpRoller, a powerhouse 4- piece group with genetic links to the music of Bloodcount, Barondown, Masada and Ornette Coleman. Dirty, rhythmic, and thematic, RUMPROLLER is also stylistically unpredictable, developing complex musical stories from the simplest of structures.

Mixed Dozen is a program of salon music, featuring works composed by the musicians of pi, inspired by a week-long residency at Howard Park Wines’ Denmark winery. Mixed Dozen includes existing salon music repertoire and new scores inspired by the salon music of the early 20th Century. The members of pi have a long history of collaborative composition, with an important part of their approach to composition being through group improvisation. All members of the ensemble have an eclectic approach to their music making with various interests in jazz, latin, gypsy, tango and salon music – above all, a commitment to entertaining whilst pushing the boundaries of whichever genre is being tackled.
