British sound artist Mike Cooper makes music that is becoming increasingly hard to categorise. The Rome-based guitarist has moved forward from folk, blues, jazz, and free improvisation in the 1960s and 70s, through experimental electronics, field recordings, and Pacific Island music. These days Cooper, in his late sixties, plays both song-form/improv sets for guitar, vocals, electronics, and objects, as well as live scoring his favourite films, eschewing his vocals to focus on micro-sounds, drones, snippets of glissando guitar, and other alien tones from various sound boxes.
Last here in April of 2007, Cooper scored Kaneto Shindo’s 1964 macabre classic ‘Oni Baba’ (Demon Woman), and this Tuesday March 3, he will score in its entirety Armenian director Sergei Paradjanov’s seldom-seen ‘The Color of Pomegranates’ (1969). The film is an astonishingly beautiful epic tracing the life of 18th Century Armenian poet Sayat Nova. Paradjanov’s painterly approach to cinematography and the film’s controversial religious, iconic, and psycho-sexual themes make ‘The Color of Pomegranates’ one of the finest European art films of the 1960s. The film was initially refused an export licence and banned by the Soviet authorities. Paradjanov was consequently deemed a non-conformist, and incarcerated in 1973, charged with rape and homosexuality, spending five years at a labour camp. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear a master of avant-garde composition and see a striking piece of cinema.
The gallery’s doors open at 8pm and Cooper will perform sans local support due to the film’s long running time. Please arrive promptly. Entry is $10.

Breakdancing the Dawn (Blue Mountains)
MURRA (MATT EARLESOLO)
STASIS DUO (EARLE AND ADAM SUSSMAN)
ABU TUCKER(EARLE/SUSSMAN/RYKO)
KYNAN LAWLOR 
“In the back of the tiny, ground floor performance space in Adelaide, Australia’s De La Catessen Gallery sits a baby grand piano that’s slowly going out of tune. Resting on that instrument, whose 88 keys remain untouched for most all of this eight-act showcase for Matt Earle’s Breakdance The Dawn cassette label, are two mixing desks, and other associated apparatus. Operating the desks are Earle and his long-time collaborator Adam Süssmann, who slowly twist together pure tones, phase patterns, electronic glissando, and shards of feedback with unassuming grace. Their set, as Stasis Duo, winds to its end in front of an audience numbering in the low twenties.
Some would call this electroacoustic improvisation (much as that term is inherently problematic), and until recently, I’d have agreed: there is certainly aesthetic and ideological overlap between Stasis Duo, Earle and Süssmann’s local and national peers, and such ‘glocal’ scenes as the New London Silence, onkyo, and Berlin reductionism. Dive further into the endless proliferation of sub-groupings, collaborations and on-the-fly gigs and recordings from this sub-set of the Australian underground, however, and EAI doesn’t even begin to cover the breadth of exploration undertaken by Stasis Duo and a clutch of their loosely related peers – people like Anthony Guerra, Arek Gulbenkoglu, Will Guthrie and Joel Stern.
In order to get to Adelaide, Earle and Süssmann, along with Riko and James Heighway, had spent several days on the road from their base in the Blue Mountains, camping out in the country while lugging all of their gear, including multiple amps, drum kits, and countless instruments, on the back of a large ute. Three more – the Unaustralians duo of Bonnie and Nylstoch, and New Zealand filmmaker Snakebeings – had driven over from Melbourne that day.”

Classical Guitar
“Yet in a tiny 30-seat inner city venue called Gallery Delacatessen, one of the year’s most remarkable concerts took place. Adelaide guitarist Aleksandr Tsiboulski, now studying in the US, gave a dazzling recital of Manuel Ponce and Stephen Dodgson on his new Greg Smallman guitar. The intensity and deep musicianship of his playing was on a par with anything at the Guitar Festival” Graham Strahle, The Adelaie Review

Classical Guitar concert
“GUITARS are habitually amplified, so it’s a pleasure to hear a truly acoustic sound in an intimate venue. De la Catessen Gallery holds about 30 people, and is the brainchild of composer Luke Altmann.
In this tiny but resonant space, Aleksimdr Tsiboulski’s guitar sounded remarkably rich and full, especially in the lower strings. It’s not just the instrument, but the person playing it: Tsiboulski has a fine sense of sound and impressive control over the tonal resources of the instrument, producing a great range of colours. Following notable wins in international competitions, he chose to play music he really loves, rather than prize-winning potboilers.
These included an ingenious piece of musical retro-styling by Manuel Ponce, a quirky and engaging suite by Stephen Dodgson, and a marvelously inventive trio of Cuban inspiration by Leo Brouwer.
Apart from immaculate technique, Tsiboulski displayed a rare ability to engage with the emotional dimension of the music, imbuing it, when required, with passion, humour and sensuality. In a scene full of talented young players, Tsiboulski stands out.” Stephen Whittington,The Advertiser

Alexander Mitchell and Amanda Phillips – Morphic Resonance
a collaborative hybrid work by Amanda Phillips / Alexander Mitchell
Morphic Resonance is live art that explores space-time relations through real time generative art and video projection. In this interactive interface the dancers reveal patterns of movement and traces of presence as they react and respond to the created environment and the environment that they are creating. Collected memories and experiences overlap and form a shared memory through states of remembering/forgetting; patterns/randomness and self/other in a constant evolutionary process.
Morphic Resonance is an experiential journey.

Music of Transparent Means
appears as a part of SALA’s Moving Image Project
“Featureless landscapes rush past on left and right walls, like riding in a very fast train through the outback, while multiple keyboards, guitar and samples produce a dense, textured wall of sound. The music… is one extended chord with a rich spectrum of high harmonics. Turning one’s head from side to side, or cupping the ears in various ways, reveals more of the structure of the chord in all its jangling, pulsating glory. Beyond the micro-variations in the sound, the music is essentially static. Like the video projection that hurtles at breakneck speed while the landscape scarcely changes, the overall impression is of motion arrested. The Futurists’ worship of speed has been turned on its head; rather than rushing forward into a glorious technological future, this high speed ride takes you to exactly where you are.” – From a review by Stephen Whittington in Real Time
