Closing Sounds

As Liveworks 2022 comes to a close, land softly with us at this free closing concert. Let the captivating, atmospheric music of Haco and Lisa Lerkenfeldt wash over you in intricate sonic waves, as we celebrate the Festival that was and re-enter the world with rejuvenated hearts and minds. Haco (Japan)’s unique and dreamlike music fuses elements of post-punk, electroacoustics, avant-garde, improvisation, post-rock, environmental sound and technology—don’t miss this rare opportunity to see her perform live in Australia. Lisa Lerkenfeldt’s multidisciplinary works embrace musique concrète, environmentalism, noise and classical motifs in their composition and imagining. Curated by Lawrence English (Room40), we invite you to join us on this final voyage for the 2022 Liveworks Festival.

“Haco and Lisa Lerkenfeldt create works that operates at the blurry edges of environment, technology and timbre. They occupy themselves with curious and unexpected reflections upon the places and situations we think that we know. Through their ears we are transported, repositioned and ultimately reconfigured to become available to their ways in sound. They are quietly powerful artists whose works are as consuming as the tides. Constant, but never solid.” Lawrence English, Closing Sounds Curator, Room40.
