The relationship between colour and sound has a long history. During
Colourscape Music Festivals, you can hear a range of music, see dance
and mime, and move amongst the performers, who are occupying and responding
to the same space as you.
We use Colourscape structures specially designed by the artists for
music and other performances. There are a variety of spaces – some
larger and lighter for big groups including dance, grand piano and even
a small opera – some darker and more intense to bring greater depth
to the music.
Often our musicians will use radio microphones so that they are free
to move around Colourscape. The amplified music will also move around
Colourscape with the help of hidden loudspeakers. These performances
become a true journey of colour, space and music.
In every Colourscape Music Festival you can experience a variety of
music including: improvisation; live electroacoustic music; a complete
Balinese Gamelan; ethnic ensembles; contemporary music groups. We always
aim to present the newest developments in music to bring a new experience
to this unique listening space.
At every Colourscape Music festival we present a variety of performances
each day. In a normal five-hour daily opening the music will move between
different styles and ensembles; there will be quiet times to allow the
appreciation of Colourscape without music. In a normal one-hour visit
you will experience a good sample of the day’s events.
Our normal festival plan is to present public performances at weekends
and educational workshops during the weekdays. During school holidays
those workshops will be open to the public.
You, as the audience, can experiment with all this, listening to the sound
in different parts of the structure. Children, not always welcome in a
concert hall, are fully included. It is a unique performance space.
