Title

Reflection 2004

Description

Elaine Miles is an artist with a 25-year career that revolves around the ancient craft of glass making. For over 15-years Miles has embraced an intuitive approach to exploring the potential of glass as sound material (or as a source of ‘free’ form melody). Miles’ hand-blown glass has been heard and seen in exhibitions, recordings and live performances nationally and internationally. Arguably the most significant collaboration of Miles’ career has been with Speak Percussion’s Director, percussionist and composer Eugene Ughetti. Miles and Ughetti collaborated from 2005 to 2010 under the name The Glass Percussion Project (GPP), with an evolution built alongside and intertwined with Ughetti’s involvement with Speak Percussion.

These hand-blown glass gongs were first played by musicians in Elaine’s lounge room in 2004. They were arranged into Balinese Pelog scales and resonated with sounds like Gamelans. When Eugene Ughetti first saw the glass gongs at Miles’ home in 2005, he conceptualised a different approach to how the gongs could be sounded. This was realised through the following years of Miles’ and Ughetti’s collaboration. When the gongs were played as part of The Glass Percussion Project, Ughetti brought a strong interest in what he called “new tuning systems”.

Title

Annotated opera score for Lohengrin by Richard Wagner, signed Nellie Armstrong, Paris, 22 April 1887

Description

This opera score was inscribed prior to Melba’s adoption of her famous stage name in December 1887. A derivation honouring her native city of Melbourne, the name was selected to sound Italian and be easily remembered.

Despite her success as Elsa in Lohengrin, Melba’s voice was not suited to heavy Wagnerian operas. After her disastrous attempt at singing Brünnhilde in Siegfried in 1896, she stopped performing these roles.

<![CDATA[Assembly Operation Ceramic Stupa, 2017]]> https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/items/show/422

Dublin Core

Title

Assembly Operation Ceramic Stupa, 2017

Description

This Stupa is made from 11 individual components and is modelled on the three stupas (pagodas) known as Three pools reflecting the moon, from the West Lake in Hangzhou, China. In performance, the 11 components are sounded as individual percussion instruments and gradually constructed to reveal this form, which is also featured on the one Yuan (RMB) note.

Assembly Operation uses objects in performance to connect a multitude of interrelated ideas. These objects are simultaneously musical, visual and theatrical. Assembly Operation is a work born out of the Chinese one Yuan (RMB) note. All of the central concepts and imagery of the work can be traced back either metaphorically or literally to one side of the one Yuan note. Within the scene Three pools reflecting the moon there is a body of water, a bridge and three stone stupas (pagodas). Assembly Operation brings together three percussionists who form an assembly line to extract exquisite sound from three iconic representations of Chinese culture: paper, ceramics and low-fi electronics.
