New Music Residency & Presentation

2015

Music; Live Interactive Performances

Artist/s: Jochen Gutsch (NSW), Bronwyn Cumbo (NSW), Simeon Johnson (NSW), Natalya Bing (NSW)

The New Music residency assists new music artists in the creation, performance and recording of new works over a one week period and concludes in a presentation of new and existing works. It continues Campbelltown Arts Centre’s strong commitment to New Music by living Australian composers.

Multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Jochen Gutsch concluded a week in residence at Campbelltown Arts Centre with the Hinterlandt Ensemble as part of the 2015 Contemporary Music Program by presenting this very special performance of new original ‘chamber’ works composed for guitar, trumpet, strings and percussion including the world premiere of Patches and Paths, a work commissioned by Campbelltown Arts Centre.

The intimate setting of the Performance Studio allowed audiences to witness firsthand the results of the artists’ work to combine traditional composition with guided improvisation, experimental performance techniques and electronics to create beautiful works with strong narrative and lyrical qualities.

The performance received a review in RealTime magazine. Recordings made while in residence and performance by Jochen and the Hinterlandt Ensemble were released commercially in January 2016.
