WTF Tuesdays are back at the Green! A new series mixing up jazz improv sessions- contemporary classical- and live scores to classic movies.
Music from 8:00pm // Tickets $15 (or pay what you can at the door).
This event features sets from Bad Ambulance & Ollie Cox!
Bad Ambulance (Jack Palmer) is a two-tiered car crash:
studio production + a/v performance. The scene unfolds,
covered in blood, in Naarm / Melbourne, Australia.
TIER ONE STUDIO PRODUCTION:
Bad Ambulance’s boutique knife-edged tracks compound the sonic pallet of various drum focused EDM subsets with the artists own insatiable thirst for cross-meter experiments and visceral aural-imagery.
A Bad Ambulance track is rhythmically focused holographic display. High intensity psychic tone is refracted producing vivid forms. Always with humour. Ever dying and ever transforming.
TIER TWO A/V PERFORMANCE:
As a live modality, Bad Ambulance presents a unique improvised loop-based collage performance that syncs samples from the Bad Ambulance catalogue with found-footage.
The overlaying and simultaneous repetition of both audio and video produces a hypnotic chain of near-danceable bardo spaces that are simultaneously paranoia inducing and outrageous. Like ghosts stuck on repeat, they emerge and dissipate with a dream- like logic.
The music is challenging and open ended, playing multiple tempos and keys in simultaneous juxtaposition. An apohenic cohesion of musical and visual elements is formed through repetition and duration – as you watch disparate components synchronise through chance and the natural process of perception.
Ollie Cox is a Melbourne-based composer, drummer and improvisor, who works in the space between constructs of sound and music. Drawing in equal measure from his jazz-centric background and love of experimentalism, Cox seeks to craft emotive compositions that flicker between spans of contemplative ambience to frenetic sonic chaos.
For this performance Ollie will be joined by his brother, Hamish Cox, who will be projecting a live play through of Dark Souls.
