Presented with Melbourne Recital Centre
RADICAL TRAJECTORIES
Hosted by Dr Robin Fox
Thu 28 Aug
Melbourne Recital Centre – Primrose Potter SalonFifty years ago, La Trobe University’s music department ignited a wildfire of experimental sound that still crackles through Melbourne today. Though silenced in 1999, its spirit lives on in Narrm’s underground circuits and sonic edges.
In RADICAL TRAJECTORIES, audiovisual artist and La Trobe alumnus Dr Robin Fox resurrects this radical legacy through a rare activation of the department’s original analogue instruments – now housed at MESS (Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio).
Feel the voltage of a movement that refused boundaries. These machines don’t just make noise; they remember.
