Liquid Architecture

Dale Gorfinkel is a musician, instrument builder and installation artist from Sydney, currently living in Melbourne. His work involves building automated mechanical sculptures based on his unique approach to the vibraphone. He creates wondrous sonorities using continuous bowed inventions on aluminum bars, swinging tin resonators and ping pong balls that create random rhythms. He has also developed a quirky approach to the trumpet, using additional plastic tubing, shower roses, balloons, and various mouthpieces which invoke an 'electronic' sound world. Past installations include: 'The Outing', a collaboration with conceptual artist Tim Gregory at Horus & Deloris Gallery, Sydney (07), 'Vaucanson's Duck: A Festival of Automated Instruments and Installations’ with Ernie Althoff and Robbie Avenaim at Bus Gallery (07), ArtsLab in Dwelling Up (WA) with Alan Lamb and Rosalind Hall (08) and 'Out of Space, A Festival of Performances and Sound Installations' at Bus Gallery (08)
