Live at the NFSA | Robin Fox: Triptych

Overview

The latest work from Australian artist and composer Robin Fox, Triptych unites his two creative passions: electronic music and audiovisual mechanical synaesthesia. A marriage of sound and light, this immersive audiovisual experience uses custom-built hardware to create simultaneous sound from laser projections.

Triptych resonates with the pioneering work of Polish émigré artist Stanislaus ‘Stan’ Ostoja-Kotkowski, who spent decades creating instruments and installations that treated sound and light as equal parts of a whole. Uniquely mapped to each performance venue, Triptych is an intentionally somatic work that can only be experienced in person; an invitation to community in the face of digital isolationism.

‘Fox pairs light with audio to create a fully synaesthetic experience that proposes different ways to imagine the structure of sound’ – The Quietus

‘the equivalent of seeing a major pop star condense their stadium show into your local band room’ – NME Magazine Australia
