A lone performer is surrounded by dozens of
objects in perpetual motion. From the tiny to
the massive, this whirlpool of floating sounds
forms a percussive swarm of gongs and
chimes, while concentric circles of organic
matter accumulate below. This teeming
turbulence gives rise to a dizzying aural
experience revealing the power of cyclic
motion in sound.
Melbourne-based percussive artist Matthias
Schack-Arnott has carved out a unique
space in contemporary music-making,
developing entirely new instrumental set-ups
and collaborating with thinkers from fields
as diverse as architecture and engineering.
Here he has worked with designer Keith
Tucker of Megafun to create an immersive
rotational lighting system to make his
latest work even more otherworldly. A
constantly shifting canopy of sound evoking
ritual geometries, subatomic motion and
planetary orbits, Everywhen is music from
outside of time.
