The Splinter Orchestra
Mungo
Album AU 2017 on Splitrec label
Jazz and Classical (Avant-garde Jazz, Contemporary, Field Recording, Sound Art, Spoken Word, Free Improvisation, Experimental)
Recorded by Splinter at Lake Mungo National Park 1-3 March 2016. For 15 years Splinter have been testing experiments in improvised orchestral music. Over the last two years, we’ve honed specific strategies involving motion that manifest differently wherever and whenever they are played out. In early March 2016 we took these procedures to the dry lakebed at Mungo National Park, far west NSW. CD1 Sunrise With birds and insects greeting the day amidst a ruined Zanci, we move around 2 fixed stereo mics in specified modes – Air Hockey and Wheel. CD2 Sunset In the Woolshed, (a massive wooden structure from 1869) we play Microphony: two microphonists, each with his/her own stereo mic weave through and around the space/band. At anytime they can handover to a fresh microphonist. CD3 Midnight After stargazing the desert sky we record at the dirt airstrip each of us relate to a pulsing bike light in the profound dark. This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, it’s arts funding and advisory body. Thanks to the Adelaide Festival, Ilan Volkov and staff at Lake Mungo National Park. Splinter would like to respectfully acknowledge the traditional owners of Mungo, the Barkinji, the Mutthi Mutthi and Ngyiampaa peoples.
