Multi-award winning artist, composer and percussionist Matthias Schack-Arnott is premiering his new work ‘Tethering’ at The Substation in Newport later this month.
He is performing the experimental music and sound installation over three nights from Thursday, April 13 to Saturday, April 15 from 7.30pm, as well as hosting a post-show artist talk on Friday 14 April.
Schack-Arnott said the performance uses a range of repurposed and recycled organic and manmade materials, including mussel shells, seed pods and polystyrene quivering and chattering on a rope system.
“It’s got quite a trashy aesthetic,” he said.
“It really is about networks.
“I want to create an exploration of the visceral nature of sound.”
Schack-Arnott said it will be special to exhibit his new work at The Substation.
“It’s a space that has a long history of supporting experimental soundwork,” he said.
Schack-Arnott is the winner of five Australian Art Music Awards, the Melbourne Prize for Music, MTNow Prize and three Green Room Awards.
