Speak Percussion presents Polar Force
November 25, 2022 @ 8:00 am - November 27, 2022 @ 5:00 pm
Speak Percussion has shaped the sound of 21st century Australian percussion music through the creation and presentation of ambitious arts projects. It engages in world-class, risk-taking and innovative projects with many of the world’s leading exponents of experimental and new music. It has commissioned and premiered over 130 percussion works, and contributed new masterworks to the global percussion repertoire.
This year Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival (hcmf//) will feature Speak Percussion’s sound installation, Polar Force – Aray, an eight-channel sound installation expressing the experience of a remote Antarctic research station through the convergence of sound, site and performance.
Situated within the remarkable white inflatable structure that houses Polar Force – Array, will be a solo percussion event unfolding as a choreographed, immersive, multi-channel sound experience. Polar Force – Agglomeration of Measurement is a survey of work, spanning 15 years, articulating some of the creative relationships surrounding Speak Percussion artistic director and artist Eugene Ughetti’s percussive language and a 21st-century Australian percussion sound.
