Liquid Architecture 10: Festival of Sound Arts is a landmark occasion for the festival and for sound culture in Australia. Celebrating its tenth consecutive year, the Liquid Architecture sound festival runs for four weeks and goes to seven cities across Australia, presenting an exciting program of contemporary sound arts. With a decade of experience to draw upon, the diverse program features live events and installations showcasing the highest quality sound work in an intense focused listening environment, privileging our most unsung sense: listening.
The breadth of diversity of artists and artistic practices includes meticulous recorded work, improvised instrumental performance, new sound for screen work, radical uses of digital technology, inventive self-made sound making devices and historically informed practices.
Bringing together the textural and dynamic capabilities of the cello, with an extensive palate of sampled and abstracted found sounds, this collaboration between Australian sound artists Anthea Caddy and Thembi Soddell generates a provocative and tense sonic world. Since the release of their debut album, Iland (Cajid 007CD) in October 2006, the duo have extensively toured both Australia and Europe, including performances at the Hoerkunstfestival, Germany, Instants Chavirés, Paris, and the Now Now Festival, Sydney.
