Evolving musicians of all ages are asking themselves how the music they make might engage with, inform and respond to the lives they live. Or perhaps it’s the other way around: how does life respond to music? In his essay, The Externally Facing Artist, percussionist, conductor and author Steven Schick proposes three important relationships at the core of a healthy artistic practice: between an artist and the materials of their craft, between an artist and the natural world, and between an artist and their community. To unpack these ideas and crucial relationships, ANAM and Schick will combine forces in a residency of three performances in 2025.
The second gathering of the residency – Touch – will bring together musicians, faculty, and audience to explore the nature of community and collaboration. From the organic improvisation Tuning Meditation by Pauline Oliveros, through to the Australian premiere of the powerful TOUCH:TRACE by Zosha di Castri, this concert will conclude with a performance of Iannis Xenakis’s percussion sextet Persephassa.
