Established in 2005, involving 20 of Australia’s leading improvisers, The Mute Canary Project features the interaction of the old and new generations of improvisers, through sonic improvisation and spontaneous composition, drawing upon the traditions of Afro-American Jazz, Fluxus, Dada, Japanese Haiku, Aleatory music, Indeterminate and Game scoring, Improvisational Theatre, Film, and Dance.
Working from the heart and the ear, the project decrypts the social sound memories of this sensation-saturated, novelty-hungry age that we find ourselves a part of in the twenty first century.
Throughout 2010, on a monthly basis, the project’s musical landscapes will explore the sensual appeal of fetishism through sound with a particular focus on spontaneity, primal energy and individuality going against the traditional clichés of eroticism. The musical language is discrete and operates on a microscopic level, able to stimulate the sensibilities of those willing to open their ears to the universe of sonic possibilities.
Furthermore, every advance in the aesthetics of improvisation - whether evolutionary or revolutionary has required an equal reconsideration of the musics performative identity. This has manifested itself in various ways partially due to the simultaneous struggle for democratic, social, and civil rights. Contemporary Art improvisers seek to loosen the shackles of the performer to allow them additional freedom to determine the development, details, or shape of a given improvisation.
Carrying the reconsideration of the roles of the improviser, performer, and audience further, The Mute Canary Project through its collective based, non-exclusive, self-funded, workshop and research focused philosophy allows their music-art practice to develop and emerge as a new style of Australian Improvised Contemporary Music practice.
The project is led by Elliott Dalgleish who has performed with many internationally renowned improvisers such as Misha Mengelberg, Steve Lacy, Shoji Hano, Cecil Taylor, Palle Mikkelborg, Karaikudi R.Mani, Odean Pope, Henri Chopin, Roger Dean, Barney McAll, Mike Nock, Roger Frampton, Walter Lampe and Paul Grabowsky; and as a soloist with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, The Interactive Performance Space, Sydney Alpha Ensemble, Electra String Quartet, AustraLYSIS, Sydney Theatre Company, AAO, Artisans Workshop, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and The Queensland Orchestra.
