Tarab
PERFORMING AT SOMEDAY
Monday, Jan 29 › 8pm › $5
TARAB, CAMILLA HANNAN, and SETH NEHIL
There you are, running your little club in Portland, on the lookout for something rare and beautiful. Then it arrives, an e-mail, on the old account you never use anymore. A fellow you used to know asks whether you might be interested in hosting two sound artists from Australia.
Camilla Hannan is concerned primarily with field recordings, and the processing and distorting of same in order to achieve specific psychological effects. Tarab's biography says he "explores the possibilities of personal chartings and reactions to the urban environment, revelling in the decay and detritus to be found there." He too uses field recordings, and the sounds of found objects. And who else could the old friend in this story be but Seth Nehil, microsound maestro and editor of F OA RM Magazine?
Oh goody, goody, goody.
About the artist
TARAB (a.k.a. Eamon Sprod) has been working on the fringes of the Melbourne sound world for the last eight years, primarily examining the interplay of field recordings and sounds generated from found objects. His work explores the possibilities of personal chartings and reactions to the urban environment, revelling in the decay and detritus to be found there. Interested in more than documentation, tarab attempts to sonically trigger, form, and recreate the interior environments which occur through our interaction with the commonplace and often overlooked.
His first album surfacedrift, was release on Naturestrip in 2004, and has performed and exhibited in various galleries, festivals (Liquid Architecture, Immersion, Variable Resistance, and Whatismusic?) and other spaces around Melbourne, and has collaborated with, among others, Ernie Althoff, Tim Catlin, and Rod Cooper.
