Polymath percussionist Thor Harris inaugurated “Thor & Friends”
in the autumn of 2015 after five years of touring as the percussionist
of iconic avant-rock ensemble Swans. The project is intended as a
vehicle for experimentation with the conceptual vocabulary of American
Minimalism collaborating with a rotating cast of Austin-based musicians.
The
ensemble has three core members, Thor, Peggy Ghorbani and Sarah “Goat”
Gautier — with its line-up expanding and contracting with the flux of
compositional and improvisational contexts. The range of tonal color
depends on what instrumentalists are present or absent from the process
at any given time. They can perform purely acoustic or shaded with hues
of electronic instrumentation, as a stripped-down trio or a large
ensemble.
Queens Of The Circulating Library is the new project from Jonnine Standish of HTRK and Ying-Li Hooi. MPavillion is situated in the Queen Victoria Gardens opposite The National Gallery Info
With
a career spanning almost six decades as an actor, filmmaker,
photographer, artist ,art collector and Hollywood enfant terrible,
Dennis Hopper collected over 100 record titles during his lifetime.
Including iconic artists and bands such as The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Van
Morrison, Fleetwood Mac, Leonard Cohen and Miles Davis, this collection
provides an incredible view into the world of one of America's most
culture-defining men. Along with handwritten notes to the actor from
various artists and several unreleased records, this is a very personal
biography of Dennis Hopper's musical journey, directly from the archive
of Dennis' daughter, Marin Hopper.

This production was written, recorded and filmed over 5 days in April
2016 in the remote community of Bourke in far Western NSW. An out come
of a Desert Pea Media community project with a group of young Indigenous
people enrolled at Bourke High School. The project came about
through a partnership between Desert Pea Media, Bourke High School and
Outback Division of General Practice. Desert Pea Media projects
involve a dialogue-based storytelling process that encouraged
participants to analyze 'the real', 'the ideal' and 'the bridge'. In
simple terms this means critically thinking about how to create positive
change for individuals, for each other and for our communities. This
information was then disseminated into a narrative structure by local
young people and Desert Pea Media staff - Toby Finlayson and Michael
Graham (aka MC Boomalli), then the lyrics were co-written and recorded.
We then shot a music video over two days all over Bourke and
surrounding areas. This project featured the expert musical
direction and production of acclaimed musician and and songwriter Carlo
Santone (Blue King Brown, Nattali Rize) who has since worked with us on a
number of projects. Also featuring session Yidaki from Indigenous
musician Fred Leone. Further mentoring support came from previous
DPM project participant Michael Graham (MC Boomalli), Kamileroi man who
is now one of the head project facilitators for DPM. The song is a celebration of survival, resilience, culture and pride and is one of our proudest achievements of 2016. Special
thanks to DPM resident psychologist Don Finlayson for his input and
project support and to Bourke High School and NSW Outback Division of
General Practice who co-funded the production. “One of the
greatest gifts we can bestow upon our community is to invest in, and
believe in our children – the results speak for themselves” Donna Jeffries Executive Manager NSW Outback Division of General Practice
Nick Cave is now widely recognized as a songwriter, musician, novelist,
screenwriter, curator, critic, actor and performer. From the band, The
Boys Next Door (1976-1980), to the spoken-word recording, The Secret
Life of the Love Song (1998), to the recently acclaimed screenplay of
The Proposition (2005) and the Grinderman project (2008), Cave's career
spans thirty years and has produced a comprehensive (and sometimes
controversial) body of work that has shaped contemporary alternative
culture. Despite intense media interest in Cave, there have been
remarkably few comprehensive appraisals of his work, its significance
and its impact on understandings of popular culture. In addressing this
absence, the present volume is both timely and necessary. Cultural
Seeds brings together an international range of scholars and
practitioners, each of whom is uniquely placed to comment on an aspect
of Cave's career. The essays collected here not only generate new ways
of seeing and understanding Cave's contributions to contemporary
culture, but set up a dialogue between fields all-too-often separated in
the academy and in the media. Topics include Cave and the Presley myth;
the aberrant masculinity projected by The Birthday Party; the
postcolonial Australian-ness of his humour; his interventions in film
and his erotics of the sacred. These essays offer compelling insights
and provocative arguments about the fluidity of contemporary artistic
practice.
