All Together Now was the final sonic event in a series of six presented by Found Sound: The Experimental Instrument Project from January - June 2009. We invited Dale Gorfinkel & Ben Kolaitis with Albert Mishriki & Dylan Martorell to collaborate on two improvised performances - the artists then presented a selection of their original instruments to everyone who showed for an all in sound-up featuring experimental vibrating percussive instruments, vibrottles, vibraphone keys, modified trumpet, harp made from tree branches and wood, hand-made circuitry and electronics, modified violin, springy boom-booms, cymbals, lead pencil drawing-circuits and plastic pipes. Yeaaaaaaaah!
Found Sound will be back in 2010. Anyone interested in participating in the next program of events is most welcome to drop us a line. Amelia and Albert say: clik bing swazzle clack trik shhhiz whirr prrrrrring ...
Our warmest thanks to the fabulous TAPR crew and Michael Prior for hosting Found Sound in 2009; to Lachlan for the invaluable use of his PA, and to Drew Roberts for the vid clips.
