- The 26th Asian Composers League Festival and Conference
- Tos Mahoney at AMC
Club Zho 69 showcases three exciting local composer/performers. Jonathan Mustard performs a series of his own experimental compositions of video/audio manipulation while Desert Air is the collaboration between Ross Bolleter and Tos Mahoney performing inspiring improvisatory works.
Jonathan Mustard will present a number of new solo works that use manipulation to treat video and musical instruments in a similar fashion to sound sampling, sometimes with hilarious consequences, while Ross Bolleter will present The Five Voices of the Phoenix for reader with accordions. For Desert Air Ross Bolleter (accordion) is joined by long-term collaborator and Tura artistic director Tos Mahoney (flute) for a presentation of their ubiquitous improvisatory compositions including Windmills in a Sea of Sand and Dusk in Ulan Bator.
Zho 69 will also include a video screening of historical moments from the First Ever Ruined Piano Convergence at the 2005 Totally Huge New Music Festival.
