Between 8 and 9 八和九之間

Autorenschaft
Beschreibung

'Between 8 and 9 (Chengdu Teahouse Project) 八和九之間 (成都茶館項目)' is a 60 minute sound installation created by Australian and Chinese artists featuring traditional instrumentation, new composition, electronics, sculptural design and vocal performance.
 
 Intertwining ancient Chinese musical theory with ancient European spatial thinking, 'Between 8 and 9' is between Chengdu and Melbourne; between audience and artists; between a meeting room and a restaurant; and between music, sonic design, live art and performance.
 
 As the audience you are seated at one of eight round tables with ‘Lazy Susans’ (餐桌轉盤 – cānzhuō zhuànpán). A voice calls from across the room. The table in front of you hums. A searing sound fills the room. A murmur of syllables flickers across the space. You turn to the sound. The sound turns to you. A sculptural musical score forms and re-forms at eight round tables, right before your ears and eyes. You are invited into a situation of choice, an oscillation, a rotation. What is the state of between 8 and 9?
 
 The creation of 'Between 8 and 9' has evolved from a thematic exploration of teahouse culture into a reflexive meditation on the meeting of cultures, generations, languages and artistic practices.
 
 This work was created by all artists involved in a collaborative process led by Madeleine Flynn and Tim Humphrey.
