TRANSIT LOUNGE 2008 > Robert Curgenven
print
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.

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. He has released a solo CD for privatelektro, "cichaczem" (2005), which was described by "disquiet" magazine as:

"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".

He has completed two commissions for ABC's Radiophonic Unit (2003, 2006), is included on the "recorded in the fields by..." compilation by "gruenrekorder" (2006) and the upcoming CRISAP/gruenrekorder compilation for the book "Autumn Leaves" (overview on sound and the environment). 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.
