Sound Offering VI, Amelia McLeish
November 16, 2019 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Join Brisbane-based sound artist Amelia McLeish, for the sixth edition of Sound Offering, Boxcopy’s monthly program that invites sound artists and experimental musicians to produce an evening of listening.
‘I’m Sure They’ll Be Okay, or Atleast I Hope So…’ (2019) is a site-specific sound art performance which utilises field recordings, found sounds, and synthesisers.
In this work McLeish utilises multiple speakers placed precariously around the room that may change position during the performance. Beginning as an ambient performance, the work develops textural layers and tension through increasingly jarring feedback loops and odd sounds. Field recordings are employed, building off of the ideas of sound artists such as John Cage and movements such as Fluxus.
McLeish appropriates the aesthetics of musical performance to emphasise the “symphony which permeates the everyday”.
Hear McLeish perform, followed by a conversation with the artist about her practice.
