JIM DENLEY and MONICA BROOKS at The People’s Republic of Australasia


Wednesday, 28 December, 2011
8:00 pm

Wednesday December 28th at 7 p.m.

JIM DENLEY
and MONICA BROOKS

at The People’s Republic of Australasia

with a very, very special Xmas surprise
for the People!!!

Monica Brooks and Jim Denley have been regular collaborators since they first met in 2002.
In recent years they have played together with the quartet Embedded, which recently toured New Zealand.
With West Head Project they have released a CD and in January they will play together at Mona Foma in Hobart.

Jim has played throughout Australia, Europe, Japan and the US with artists such as Chris Abrahams, Clare Cooper, Keith Rowe, Joel Stern, Robbie Avenaim, Jon Rose, John Butcher, Otomo Yoshide, Fred Frith, Phil Niblock, Trey Spruance, Clayton Thomas, Tess de Quincy, Axel Doerner, Adam Sussman, Ami Yoshida, Oren Ambarchi, Tony Buck, Ikue Mori, Satchiko M, Malcolm Goldstein and Annette Krebs.
‘This is music at it’s most primal, enhancing the beauty of creation.’ (John Shand - Sydney Morning Herald).
Jim has recently returned from concerts in Europe and South America.

Monica Brooks hails from the mountain tops of the western plains, primarily focusing on the relationship termites have to astronomical phenomena such as the aurora australis. Monica is often found playing few notes in slow succession on the piano accordion in West Head Project, Splinter Orchestra, Mayas/Altman/Brooks Trio, and she made Z grade celebrity status in the band formerly known as Ubercube. She also amuses herself with radios and guitar pedals in a trio with Anna Vo and Nadene Pita. Monica on occasion delves deep into the superficial habitats of indie music as a perpetual novice of the piano and computer, and thoroughly enjoys a good yodel with other beer-swilling slags around the Sydney sub-tropics. Monica has made a number of attempts to transform into an artist/sound sculptor, and used to spell her name with a ‘k’ to appear more exotic.
Monica’s piano is vastly different to her accordion…
in this concert she will play solo piano as well as playing with Jim.

THERE WILL BE THREE SETS ON THE NIGHT !!!

EVENTS AT THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC ARE FREE
WITH DONATIONS INVITED AND ENCOURAGED!

PLEASE RSVP TO THIS nshimmin [at] dodo.com.au ASAP FOR FURTHER DETAILS

The Superusers - AV Extravaganza


Thursday, 15 December, 2011
7:00 pm

The SuperUsers – AV Extravaganza

The SuperUsers
+ Hypnololly
+ Pia van Gelder
+ Sven Simulacrum
7-10PM, THURS 15th Dec $8

The Superusers

The Superusers was created by Australian-born-Berlin-based artist Scott Sinclair in 2010. Scott currently performs as the central member of the group in collaboration with like-minded artists from around the world.

The Superusers is a vehicle for artists to extend their practice into unknown territories. Members of The Superusers are involved in performance, music, film, programming, installation, literature, and costume. Members may incorporate their existing work from any medium, which is then adapted into a dynamic and cohesive audio-visual performance. The result is a retroactive combination of aggressive audio-visual media with the absurdist humor of dada and expanded cinema. The message is EXCESS!

The Superusers are here in Sydney with the support of NowNow for the NowNow Festival Launch playing as Botborg on Wednesday the 14th of December at Red Rattler.

and the Powerhouse Museum (beta space, 2009)

Hypnololly will make like a deep sea squid with phosphorescence and electrify your mind with audio visual synthesis and electronic tendrilscapes.
