In the iconic Cobblestone Pavilion of the Meat Market in North Melbourne, Liquid Architecture presents the first Melbourne performance of Corin's celestial audio-visual masterpiece 'Lux Aeterna'.
Also headlining the night is a collaborative premiere from legendary avant-garde percussionist OAM Duré Dara with electronic musician Mararara and moving-image mastermind Eek.
Corin Ileto presents her Lux Aeterna Live AV performance featuring music from her recently released album ‘Lux Aeterna’ (UIQ) with accompanying visuals by video artist/director Tristan Jalleh. Lux Aeterna (translation ‘Eternal Light’ in latin) is a speculative fiction named after a choral work by Gyorgy Ligeti that appears in 2001: Space Odyssey, Ileto is inspired by Ligeti's use of micro-polyphony, a compositional tool in which harmonies slowly merge into one another over time, creating amorphous alien-like textures that bend and mutate.
Sounds imagined as sentient beings - each sonic element taking on a life of its own. Industrial textures become embodied creatures swimming through space, like sentinels.
These themes are reflected in the visual world created by Tristan Jalleh. Apparitions of android machinations. Swirling sentinels. Debris suspended in space, momentarily forming then collapsing again into an abyss. The eternal light that already encompasses us brings us closer to the heavens.
In support of the two key performances will 莎瑜 (Shā Yú), a collaborative project between ZHI and 黑芝麻 (Hēi zhī ma) and DJ's Mon Franco and 非 Fēi.
Food on the night will be available from the popular micro-celebrity 'My Name Chef'.
Note: Strobe lighting and other intense lighting will be used in this show. It may not be safe for those with epilepsy or other conditions with sensitivity to light.
