THE NINTH TONE: Speculations on a Chinese Australian sonic history is a project currently in development with Speak Percussion, by composer and erhu specialist Jasmin Wing-Yin Leung, on the long histories of Chinese music in Victoria. I am contributing Hertzian frequency spaces and conducting Media Archaeology / material research wth Jasmin into the collections of Museum of Chinese Australian History, and the Bendigo Museum. We have the first performance of the project in Chinatown in Melbourne in early December, and the second at the Bendigo Museum in early 2025. More details soon! In the meantime, here is the PR from Speak Percussion:
Spectral echoes resonate through interference and translation; re-tuned instruments create sympathetic vibrations; second hand memories speculate about forgotten lineages and practices. The Ninth Tone is an hour-long concert that re-evaluates the legacy of Chinese Music within Victoria since the 1800s, presented within the oldest continuous Chinese settlement outside of Asia.
