JOLT, THE NATIONAL FILM AND SOUND ARCHIVE
& CARRIAGEWORKS PROUDLY PRESENT:
SONO PERCEPTION//////
‘Somehow it seems to me that that’s what we are all doing – searching
to understand our own perceptual processes.’ James Tenney, 1978.
ABOUT SONO PERCEPTION:
Over the 20th century, the exploration of computer technologies and electronic systems has given birth to a 21st century obsession with sound as abstract physical phenomenon. Sono-perception is a concert that explores the functional physical phenomenon that is sound and the abstract elegant mysteries that lie within the auditory system.

ABOUT THE WORKS:
Having Never Written A Note For Percussion (1971): James Tenney (performed on Tam Tam)
American 20th century compositional giant James Tenney’s ‘Having Never Written a Note For Percussion (1971)’, performed by Speak Percussion - represented by Jeremy Barnett (in Sydney) & Wyana Etherington (in Canberra). Tenney’s oeuvre has had a profound impact on art, pioneering explorations of sound as a fluid continuum of abstract perceptual experience.
Three Composiitons for the Electric Eye-Tone Tool (2006-8): Catherine Schieve & Warren Burt
Warren Burt and Catherine Schieve, well-established masters of composition, will perform a new composition for one of Percy Grainger’s pioneering Free Music Machines (the Electric Eye-Tone Tool) which calibrates drawings into electronic sound. Grainger’s capacity to perceive sound outside the tight boundaries of early 20th century “music” was profound, foreshadowing future sonic revolutions.
Melting Moments (2007/8): Bruce Mowson
Bruce Mowson will explore the sensations created by fields of tones and colour; his work Static Tones has been described thus: “the psychoacoustic effect of the music was like a mirage”.
Song Of The Gotholin (2008): James Hullick
James Hullick will work with his beloved robotic violin and it’s in-built security camera system.
