Warren Burt - SOLO

Warren Burt, composer, performer, instrument builder, video artist,
will present a rare live concert of his work for computer and home-made instruments,

with new and classic video works.

Works include

· an excerpt from “A Book of Drones No. 5” (2007)
A microtonal composition for multiple software Moog synthesizers controlled from the computer screen

· “Exploring Ivan's Modes” (2009)

A live keyboard work for sampled tuning forks and motion-controlled effects

· A new work for electro-acoustic percussion boards (instruments assembled with hardware from Bunnings!) and live electronics

· A new work for live computer inspired by the 1970s work of Herbert Brun and Iannis Xenakis

· A new work for video and electronic sound made with mathematical function generators

Before and after the performance, on the big screen, we will show Nocturnals A & B, video synthesis works from 1977, widely shown in Europe, the USA and Australia in the 1970s, but not seen since, here lovingly restored by Stephen Jones.

Warren Burt has been composing and performing in Australia since 1975.
His work has been heard live, on ABC and community radio, in many art galleries and public spaces, etc. For almost 30 years he was one of the mainstays of the Melbourne experimental music, dance and performance poetry scenes. Since 2004 he has lived and worked in Wollongong, where he is currently ARC Research Fellow in the Faculty of Creative Arts at the University of Wollongong, as well as teaching audio engineering at Wollongong TAFE.
