Carolyn Teo (Sydney / Montreal)
www.carolynteo.com
Carolyn Teo (aka Wun Thong) is an artist from Sydney, Australia, who works across media in photography, video, sound, textiles, performance and d.i.y electronics. Currently exploring the city of Montreal and enduring one of the coldest winters in the world, yet discovering a city abundant in culture and creativity. The D.I.Y approach in Montreal allows for creative freedom and expression which nurtures a healthy arts community. Healthy in the sense that artists self release CD’s that come to be works of art, each CD feels personalized and one of a kind.
This month’s “xmas special” is a collection of self released and independent experimental artists from Montreal, Canada. Sit back and enjoy bruits du nord!

Mark Brown is a Sydney based sound, installation and photo media artist exploring the phenomenology of space, architecture and acoustic atmospherics. Brown’s practice has evolved into a poetic response to site, critiquing the history and function of architecture by documenting and making manifest unseen and unheard phenomena in space. This playlist maps a trajectory through strategies in the creation of sound composition and music derived from field recordings, sampling, artist made instruments and meta-generative techniques.
Minit’s samples of ‘absence’ recorded in the place where the Berlin wall used to be are layered into a subtle building wall of sound in Berlin Untitled. Wolfgang Voigt’s Pop 4 pulses through the black forest of reconstructed pop elasticity. Inside the white cube, a museum goods lift opening its doors to hear the ruminations of a disembodied forensic entity in Fontana Musee Incident. Einsturtzende Neubauten’s sound sculpture / instruments flail on the stage of Werner Schwab’s Faust. During the Acoustic Space Lab project in Irbene Latvia Zina Kaye & Mr Snow inhabit a decommissioned soviet satellite communications dish and distilled the unseen sonic particles it collects. Ian Andrew’s Dude Descending a Staircase traverses the static of radio waves and glitch frequencies in a Duchampian audio readymade. Echolocation is a recent collaboration with myself and Vincent and Vaughan O’Connor, the intention was to create a live sonic meteorology of field recordings and circuit bending.

WEEK 2
Question/Answer – Interruption
UTS performance space
Bon Marche building, Corner of Broadway and Harris St
August 27, 6pm FREE
This unique performance will explore and disrupt the notion that music should be as symmetrical as a ‘perfect’ human face. Participants will be invited to perform in this collaborative work aimed at investigating notions of rhythm, structure, form, space and time. These performances will make use of the snazzy new facilities (which include a 9.1 surround sound system) in this UTS space. Performers include: Peter Newman, Shannon O’Neill, Jessica Tyrrell & Chris Caines, and Roger Mills.
Sound of Failure Festival, main performance night
Factory Theatre, 105 Victoria Rd, Enmore
August 30, 7pm (sharp!), $20 (+booking fee)
Book NOW online at http://factorytheatre.com.au
Internationally renowned torturers of electronic toys, Toydeath, will unleash their circuit bent mayhem on the Factory Theatre along with 15 other acts that include everything from the burlesque cabaret of Dianne’s Dollhouse and the endurance karaoke of Samuel Bruce, to the uninhibited, primordial yowls of Lectre Macabre & Triangle. Other performers include: Ian Andrews, catfingers, Greg Chatonsky (Canada), Cleaning Lady (Vic), Jacob Craig, Delirium Tremens, Est Et Non, Tom Hall (Brisbane), Hiske with Psychic Date & VJ Jax, Sari TM Kavinen, Marquis de Sound, Glenn Remington, and Jessica Tyrrell & Chris Caines.

WEEK 1
Sound of Failure (Main Exhibition)
Chrissie Cotter Gallery, Pidcock St, Camperdown
Opening August 19, 6pm (FREE), August 20-September 7
Curated by Jennifer Teo
The Chrissie Cotter Group Show Exhibition hosts a diverse range of audio, and audio-visual installations. Artists featured include US based sound experimenter, Subscape Annex, who has used the potentially explosive technique of combining electricity and water in a work that involves sound from dripping water across the contact of an instrument cable jack. The result ‘The Water Method’ is a sublime ambient work that is hypnotically compelling.
Norie Neumark and Maria Miranda dissect and interrogate the iconic Aussie cop drama, ‘Homicide’ (said to be the most important and popular television drama series ever produced in the country) in ‘Homicide Rumours’ — a sound slash fiction. Like old episodes of Doctor Who, these Homicide mashups conjure sensations of familiarity and sentimentality, as well as disappointment and even embarrassment. Our memories live in the original – past – moment; our hazy dream is shattered by the harsh reality of the now.
Other artists include Peter Newman, Jordana Maisie, Vienna Parreno, Monperro (Spain), David O’Donoghue, Krzysztof Osinski, Ashley Scott, Greg Shapley, Cara-Ann Simpson, and the 2203 Collective.
The opening will feature a performance by renowned theatre artists Leisa Shelton and Jethro Woodward.
Rococo Vortex
by Wade Marynowsky
Don’t Look Gallery, 419 New Canterbury Rd, Dulwich Hill
Opening August 20, 6pm (FREE), August 21-30
Wade Marynowsky’s stunning solo exhibition at Don’t Look Gallery, ‘Rococo Vortex’. This exhibition explores 18th century European notions of the automaton, elegance, decadence and how these have filtered down into contemporary Australian kitsch culture.
In the gallery shop front are two spinning Rococo styled and robotic crinolines. The robotic stands spin as if they are in continual dance. The spin position coordinates are sent wirelessly to a computer which translates this movement into audio and video. The work questions Australia’s, and other countries, continuous obsession with identity, antiquity, and bourgeoisie society.
Other Festival Events
The main performance night for Sound of Failure (which includes over 15 acts with Toy Death headlining) is on at the Factory Theatre, August 30, 7pm (bookings at http://factorytheatre.com.au). You can also find sound art hiding between the junk in Reverse Garbage, as well as a spellbinding performance, ‘Question/Answer… Interruption’ at the snazzy new UTS performance space.

The Sound of Failure festival is supported by Marrickville Council, the Centre for Media Arts Innovation (University of Technology, Sydney), Reverse Garbage, the Factory Theatre and Don’t Look Gallery.

Sound of Failure 2008
The Sound of Failure is sound art festival based in Sydney, begun in 2007, that explores notions of organised and indeterminate music/sound/noise as conceived and experienced in this, our post-digital era. It is both an inclusive and critical exploration of a broad spectrum of audio experience that includes everything from experimental cabaret, to granular synthesis-derived microsound. This year, the Sound of Failure is a multi-sited event centred around the main performance night at the Factory Theatre in Enmore, which will include some big names and some exciting emerging performers.
