TQ @ Make it up Club
The Terminal Quartet will perform Drift Theory 03 at the Make it up Club, Tuesday 19 April, Bar Open, 317 Brunswick St, Fitzroy, Melbourne.
This, the third iteration of Andrew Garton's Terminal Quartet, features yet another exemplary combination of musicians: internationally acclaimed composer/producer, Ollie Olsen; underground producer/sound artist, Steve Law (aka Zen Paradox); and synthesiser specialist, composer/performer, John Arthur Grant.
The Terminal Quartet will perform Garton's structured improvisation, Drift Theory, comprised of four individual movements (Genetic Drift, Neutralization, Continental Drift, Theory of the Derive) and an additional series of linking movements referred to as drift sequences.
Drift Theory is a collaborative composition, each performance entirely unique, each performance influencing the next, exerting notions of drift as it may occur in creative, social and psychological development, both of the performers and the piece itself.
The Terminal Quartet was founded in 2003 with collaborators Steve Law, Jeremy Yuille and Paul Abad. The second iteration of the Quartet was convened in Brisbane for the Small Black Box/Liquid Architecture Festival and featured Andy Bagley, Paul Abad and Andrew Kettle.
This iteration of the Quartet will draw inspiration from electroacoustic compositional techniques and analogue synthesis. Expect the unexpected... and a few synthesisers!
