ENViRON : unpredictable aesthetics
SUNDAY NOVEMBER 7th : 7PM TIL LATE : $5
LOOP : 23 Meyers Place Melb CBD

Environ is the monthly event in Melbourne where artists and musicians from
the many walks of the scene get together to form unprecedented
collaborations with wildly varied outcomes, in front of an audience.
Electronics has met psychobilly, dub mixing has met optical art, and jazz
brass has met Indian tabla... the sixth night on November 7th is set to push
the tangent even further.

For a limited time, free MP3 tracks from the artists involved in this
episode can be heard at http://www.environline.net

Direct from his tour of Vietnam, DJ Bags (AKA Alan Bamford) makes his
comeback performance. Also, Dubwise returns from his responsibilities at the
Newcastle 'This Is Not Art' festival to play his wild selection of quality
dubs... Once again, the internationally renowned paintings and digital work
of John Aslanidis will be exhibited in the backspace.

Involved in the Talula performance end of things is Bec Cole, a vocalist of
varying styles who experiments with processing techniques and is better
known for her work developing art concepts for the disabled. She's working
with Melbourne post-techno come Hip Hop and break beats producer Isnod, well
known for his releases on the 'if' record label and recent sets at the
Northcote community festival. Also part of this four way mash is SBS radio
presenter & Bulgarian Sound Engineer Viktor Markov and Lindsay Cox, a
Medical Photographer come Video artist, who recently returned from Taipei.

The second Talula is Clan Analogue founder Brendan Palmer, coming out from
behind the mixing desk and out front with a pile of ancient keyboards.
Re-discovering the electrical mother-synths that got him into electronic
music in the first place, Brendan works with Tony Woods, a 60 something
experimental filmmaker, 35mm slide and field recording collage artist. Also
collaborating with these two is Ben 'Shamen' Skepper an emerging Cello
player with half-Japanese origins who has been described as 'quite
passionate with the cello' by his peers, and environ stalwart Mik laVage
who'll be mixing (with great creativity) this found sound meets analogue
meets cello set... 

Through combining the creative energies of many types of innovative artist,
environ events tend to have a certain electricity about them. People of many
backgrounds and generations come to experience something quite familiar, yet
obscure in approach. The Audience is at the centre of the action with
performers occupying the various corners of the Loop Venue, and this allows
for those sitting within the space to actually have a strong contribution to
the art being created... spontaneously...
