"On March 1 2013, Adelaide Festival in association with ABC Arts
presents Hauntology House, an online 3D music toy created by sound
artist and Severed Heads frontman Tom Ellard.
Hauntology House is an interactive online music experience that will be housed on abc.net.au/arts for the duration of Adelaide Festival.
“Here,
music is the living space rather than the walls, and in that space
lives a collection of machines, animals and tunnels - the ghosts of my
musical ideals."
"Music is the heart of all art whether visual or
sound; the editing of a film, the composition of a painting, light in a
photograph are all musical. The muse is everywhere and it’s churlish to
keep a music album trapped in a sleeve or download. I’m not making a
new box - I’m saying here’s another way you can go, and there are
infinite ways beyond this," says Ellard.
Tom Ellard is currently
a media arts lecturer at COFA-UNSW. He has had a significant career as
the front man and creative leader of Severed Heads, the seminal
Australian electronic group who were the forerunners for pairing
electronic music with computer-generated imagery.
From March 1
to April 30 you can access Hauntology House on abc.net.au/arts to
reassemble old tape machines, meet manic rabbits and find a purely
abstract place where vision and sound act together as music.
Where: abc.net.au/arts
When: Friday 1 March - Tuesday 30 April, 2013
Presented by Adelaide Festival in association with ABC Arts.
