Robert Curgenven<\/strong><\/p>\n

Working with harmonics, textures and resonance as articulated not only through instruments\/objects, in space and place, but also in time and the dislocation of the remote, Robert’s sound explores slowly shifting layers in the fabric of fields of perception. <\/p>\n

Robert inaugurated "Sounds Unusual – Northern Territory for New Music", now in its second year in northern Australia and also "Recorded Fields", a label for sound art and field recordings based in Central Australia. He has released a solo CD for privatelektro, "cichaczem" (2005), which was described by "disquiet" magazine as:  <\/p>\n

"absolutely beautiful distillations of sound mixing the familiar textures of field recordings, including falling snow and the period after a thunderstorm, with hyper-sensitive recordings of a grand piano that suggest the open spaces only alluded to by most synthesizers". <\/p>\n

His soundtrack to Lezsek Paul’s "Terrain der Zeit" has has been included in screenings at Prix de la Creation Video, Clermont-Ferrand, France (2007), Filmfest Dresden, Germany (2006) and Experyment V Internation Art Meeting Zbaszyn, Poland (2005). He has had installations\/group exhibitions in Darwin, Fremantle, Koln and Berlin. Robert has performed at Transmediale (Berlin) events throughout Australia, and tours of Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, UK, France and Japan. <\/p>\n

Nightfall by a riverside camp near Wollumbin (Mt Warning), walking in dry grass, the sharp call of a single insect emerges. Above the nearby road, power lines catch the breeze – an echo finding resonance over 3000 kilometres west at Karlu Karlu (Devil’s Marbles) in Central Australia, where the wind strikes a parallel rhythm some years before. Further north, other winds blow in grevilleas lining the Buchanan Highway, en route to the Tanami Desert. Along a river, 20 metres deep in a flood that isolates a town, crickets pulse agitatedly on the Tropics‘ edge. Two thousand kilometres east, aeolian currents bring the Musical Fence in Central Queensland to a slow crescendo. Finally, 2000 kilometres south east again, returning through the grass to camp, the cycle is, for now, complete.
