We had Seb, an ex student here, and he showed us what he did after completing his course in the EMU in Adelaide Uni. It was interesting, and I enjoyed the beat maker. But I particularly enjoyed the instrument he made out of the water bowl thing. It was this instrument that controls the sound through the water waves. The player would then touch certain parts of the water bowl and sound is generated depending on the waves that happens in the waater.
Next we had someone else I forgot the name. He did the "Music of the Spheres" concert in the Fringe Festival. It was an interesting idea. The audience would be sitting down, or lying down, faced to the ceiling of the building. Constant music is played/performed for a few hours with the images on top.
He also did some research on cultural music. Especially noted was an ancient American civilisation with the large building where a sound of a specific bird can be heard. He said it was the world's oldest and most ancient recording device. To think of it being the technology of the world before Christ.
