The Totally Huge New Music Festival 2017: Rehearsing for Breaking Out October 15, 2017

Posted by bohdan.warchomij in : Metaphor Online, Tura New Music , trackback

The Breaking Out concert is a proud tradition of the biennial Totally Huge New Music Festival that celebrates emerging Western Australian composers and performers. Audiences are invited to an evening of interesting and inspiring compositions from graduating students from the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts and the University of Western Australia’s School of Music, as well as those spreading their wings beyond the institutions.

Embracing the Irrational: The Sonic Arts in a Post-Factual World
Keynote Speaker: Anne LeBaron (CalArts)

Over the last century art movements such as Dada, Surrealism, Fluxus and Neoisms such as the Luther Blissett movement and Australia’s Ern Malley hoax responded to the world around them by embracing the irrational as the basis of their creative agendas. In a media-rich contemporary environment in which facts are displaced by feelings, emotion and intuition – previously the lowly province of the arts  and “soft sciences” – where do composition and sonic art practices stand? How are composers, music creatives and sonic artists responding to the new century of “post-truth”?

The Totally Huge New Music Festival Conference is presented by Tura New Music, in association with the University of Western Australia, and with Edith Cowan University, including the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. The conference is supported by the State Library of Western Australia.
