SHAUN WILSON is a Tasmanian new media artist working with video and sound art. His current doctoral studies at the Academy of the Arts, University of Tasmania, explores the relationship between scale and mnemonics. The current sound project 'Mnemonica' looks at creating an audio based memory palace by deconstructing family audio recordings and spatially manipulating such sounds to form a movement based sound instalation. Shaun has exhibited widely throughout Australia and internationally including galleries such as 24hr Art: NT Centre for Contemporar Art, Seattle Centre of Contemporary Art, Canberra Contemporary Art Space, CASt and the Academy Gallery.
ROMAN URINALS are Chelsea Charlton (drums), Kahl Monticone (guitar), Victor Roberts (bass), Markos Zografos (keyboards). From Brisbane, the individual members have played many shows locally, nationally and internationally with many different bands/projects and feature on many independently released CDs. This will be their 2nd show as Roman Urinals. With each musician assuming the role of 'half player / half listener' the music is projected outwardly with energy, passion and clarity, and results are often fluid, minimalist and hypnotic.
RICHARD HAYNES (clarinet/bass clarinet) has been a member of the Queensland Conservatorium's Improvisation Ensemble for two years, working through a multitude of styles with virtuoso violinist and improvisation specialist, John Rodgers. Richard has recorded improvisations for short film, improvised in performance with electronic keyboardist and composer, Matthew Mylne, for the Awards Ceremony of The Design Institute of Australia and has taken impromtu advantage of many natural and unnatural acoustics in his improvisations.
