'Resonating Spaces'

Young composers from Melbourne, Australia in residence at MOA, October 3-17, 2011












A unique collaboration between UBC and seven University of Melbourne young composers will result in the creation of a unique series of soundworks inspired by their experiences of MOA as a place of art, architecture, history, and cultural diversity. The works will exist as live performances and/or playback pieces, or as part of a sound catalogue of podcasts to be shared with MOA visitors in future. While in residence at UBC, the students will work with Associate Professor Mark Pollard, composer, researcher, educator, and Head of the VCA School of Contemporary Music at the University of Melbourne. Where possible, the students will also interact with MOA staff and the broader UBC community, to explore ways in which their experiences of the Museum can be represented through cross-media composition.
Participating composers include Kym Dillon, Lisa Illean, Thomas Madden, Julius Millar, Piotr Nowotnik, Chris Rechner, and Hayden Schueler.
