Venue: Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University (QCGU)
Location: QCGU foyer, 114 Grey St, South Brisbane QLD 4101
Date: Friday 24th March 2017
Time: 4.45 – 5.35pm
Cost: Free
Inspired by a 2012 article by Nobel-winning physicist Frank Wilczek about the idea of perpetually moving, multi-dimensional structures, Time Crystals transmutes the principles of hard science into felt structures of sound. “We’re taking the idea of crystal shapes, angles and lattice structures that we can visualise, and transferring that to sound design” composer Griswold says. “What’s important to me is not duplicating the mathematical structure but trying to capture the idea of the time crystals in sound.”
This performance consists of 13 musical propositions, exploring ways to apply the ideas of perpetual motion, pattern and crystalline structures to musical forms, creating music that is minimalist at heart but rich and beautiful in execution. Using an intricately designed constellation of percussive and pianistic sounds, Erik Griswold and Vanessa Tomlinson create a kaleidoscope of shifting sound colours.
