Join the extended Spirit Level family as they carefully curate a night of atmospheric sounds.
After a sell-out showcase in 2017, one of Melbourne’s most exciting creative communities returns to the Kew Court House to bring you intimate performances from two fearless sonic explorers: Tilman Robinson andHappy Axe.
Tilman Robinson is a Melbourne composer and sound designer whose diverse output focuses on the psychological impact of sound. He builds immersive sound worlds out of a combination of organic and electronic source material. Find out why his live performance has been described by the Guardian as "mesmerising - music that is at once soothing and avant-garde, but never anything other than warmly human."
Happy Axe is Canberra-based musician Emma Kelly, who crafts richly textured and dreamlike ambient songs out of layers of vocals, violin and musical saw. Happy Axe will be showcasing songs from her forthcoming debut album "Dream Punching", which merges David Lynch-like moods and exquisite musicality into a hypnotic blend of light and shade.
Spirit Level is an artist-run music label devoted to developing unique creative voices. The label was co-founded by two friends, Double J radio presenter and musician Tim Shiel and Grammy award-winning artist Gotye, who have long been passionate champions of innovative local music.
Don’t miss your chance to see Melbourne’s brightest new talent up close and personal.
