Meridian Music: Composers in Performance presents Music for the Banal, the Obvious, the Everyday by Vanessa Tomlinson

Meridian Music presents a performance by Australian percussionist Vanessa Tomlinson. Music for the Banal, the Obvious, the Everyday are a series of manually operated installations of objects, activated by ropes, water, rice, or the more conventional percussive act of striking. Using both site specific found objects and favorite sounds that travel from Australia, Tomlinson’s performances are more akin to wind playing a plastic bag, the ocean playing rocks, the cause and affect of what she has playfully termed determined indeterminacy. Tomlinson will present 4 works: Talk to me (for water and floating objects), Spill (by Erik Griswold - for ceramic bowls and 12kgs rice), Ropes (for prepared floor and ropes) and her more percussively orthodox Music for the Banal, the Obvious, the Everyday (for bicycle pumps, bottles, tiles, mixing bowls, wood and sandpaper).
