SPECIAL PERFORMANCE in association with Stephen Vitiello: The Birds
Sound art event: Stephen Vitiello + Lawrence English

Celebrated US sound artist Stephen Vitiello joins us in Sydney to launch two new works he has created from field recordings in the Kimberely, and his special collaboration with musician Lawrence English reprises their soon to be released recording Acute Inbetweens. For this performance, each artist will present a solo work and then, for the first time, these collaborating artists will perform together, presenting variations on works from Acute Inbetweens.
