about

Fantasia 12; At the Ballarat Festival of Slow Music (2014) with sculptor Paul Blizzard, I performed in the Minerva Space at the Ballarat Mechanics Institute (Victoria, Australia). Our collaboration Dancing the Chisel (45 mins) involved improvised musical responses on various recorders to on-stage stone and metal work sequences. The piece finished with some long, pure Ganassi recorder notes, to reflect upon the beautiful ‘carousel’ structure built on stage by Paul. This improvised fantasia very loosely relates to the tonal and spatial ambience of the final part of Dancing the Chisel.
