The inaugural 2018 Audio
Foundation Performance Residency artist is Wellington based musician,
musicologist, organiser, and sound artist,
Daniel Beban. Daniel will spend a week in residence at the Audio Foundation from May
22, performing each night alongside an array of local and international
collaborators.
This new programme is inspired by similar series
run by the likes of New York’s legendary venue The Stone, where for up to two
weeks at a time, a single artist is invited to present work in different
combinations each night.
$10 gets you in to 3 nights! Tues 29 – Thurs 31
For his performance residency Daniel will
present some of his longstanding bands and projects (
Orchestra of Spheres, The
Stinging Nettles, Microsoft Voices) alongside new improvised collaborations
with colleagues such as Stefan Neville, Beth Dawson, Chris O’Connor and Paul
Buckton and first time musical meetings with guitarist Kathleen Tomacruz and
visiting Italian musician/composer Luciano Chessa. Each night presents a
different facet of Daniel Beban’s artistic repertoire and promises a
fascinating and compelling overview of one of New Zealand’s most prolific and
significant sound artists.
