The Instrument Builders Project
Makeshift instruments, live art, and electronic music combine in this experimental work straight from the streets of Indonesia.
Overview
When people think of experimental music, they often imagine Bjork wailing through electronic beeps while peering over an Icelandic cliffside. But somehow, The Instrument Builders Project takes this genre to a new extreme. For the past couple of years a group of Australian and Indonesian musicians and artists have been devising creative new ways to make and experience sound. Now they're inviting you to see what they've come up with.
From November 1-23, these artists will be holed up in the NGV hosting concerts, exhibitions, workshops and talks about their work. This includes the strange and fantastical instruments they make — like this multi-coloured Wonka-esque walking music factory — and this live art project that sees participants blindfolded and guided through city streets with what looks like megaphones strapped to their ears. Never a dull moment. Though these works have been developed and exhibited in Indonesia, this will be the first time they've touched down on Australian soil. Be the first to delve into the strangeness.
