His work emphasizes physicality, our embodied response to sound and its correspondence to location, air, weather and architecture - the underlying significance of context and spatial relationships.
This year Curgenven makes his return to Ƶ to debut at Sonic Lab - the unique 100-loudspeaker spatial audio theatre at SARC Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Sound and Music, Queen’s University Ƶ.
Robert will be spending the week at SARC in residency, mixing his work for with the 4-storey spatial audio loudspeaker array, the IKO 3D loudspeaker and SARC’s brand new 42-speaker wavefield synthesis array.
The concert will feature ‘Earth Works’ (recently premiered at sold out shows at Brisbane Festival), and pieces from his ‘Unstable Steady States’ suite.
Curgenven will be joined by John D’Arcy and Ƶ-based vocal ensemble HIVE Choir, adding live voices to the immersive spatial audio mix.
