Curator-performers Daniel Raymond and Alex Tucker present two ensembles whose work explores sound as landscape, memory, and discovery.

Launching their second album, Mallee, the collaborative project of Freya Schack-Arnott and Ben Ward performs music for cello, double bass, nyckelharpa and synthesised sound. Drawing on site-specific improvisations in Menindee, Cobar and Wilcannia, their work investigates radical tuning systems, spectral resonance and richly textured sonic environments, blurring the boundaries between acoustic and electronic sound.

Joining them is The Cloud of Unknowing, featuring Jim Denley, Sam Dobson and Alex Tucker. Inspired by improvisation’s embrace of uncertainty, the trio navigates a continually shifting musical terrain where saxophone, bass, percussion and found objects converge in spontaneous acts of listening and invention.
