Sonorous XI: David Chesworth and Gail Priest

A liberation of sonics from the shackles of stereo, Sonorous welcomes audiences to go beyond a traditional listening experience into an expanded sonic universe.

Reaching a landmark 11th instalment in its Sonorous series, Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio (MESS) invites sound artists Gail Priest and David Chesworth to engage with the incredible instruments of the MESS collection. Crafting an immersive multichannel electroacoustic performance, these two extraordinary artists push their work in new directions by experimenting with space as a structural compositional concern.

This is a rare chance to hear electroacoustic works in glorious octaphonic surround sound.
