ANYONE can drop in, tune in and turn on to the sound of electronic music at the free Transmission event in Parkdale this weekend.
Three electronica acts Chiara Kickdrum, Electric Ninja and Rock Hunter will fire up synthesisers, mix desks and ambient guitar to lay down a groove of both smooth and block rockin’ beats at the Shirley Burke Theatre’s G3 Artspace.
Parkdale resident Peter Breuer, who also records electronic music under the name Faux Professor Pierre Breux, will MC the 75-minute music gig accompanied by eye-popping visuals courtesy of projections and video manipulator Bob Jarvis.
Breuer says headline act Chiara Kickdrum “is a big deal” and it is a great chance to hear such a talent’s music up close in the intimate surrounds of the G3 Artspace.
“Transmission gives people in the Kingston area a chance to see performances and art forms that perhaps would more often be held at inner Melbourne galleries and club venues,” he said.
“We’ll also be having a bit of fun by giving away a synthesiser, a Korg Monotron Delay Synthesiser, to a lucky audience member and helping them patch it on stage,” he said.
All artists are paid for their performances and the event is sponsored by design business Graphyte Media, owned by Mr Breuer.
- Transmission 3 is at G3 Artspace, Shirley Burke Theatre, 64 Parkers Rd, Parkdale on Saturday 19 March, 8pm. Entry is free, drinks can be bought at licensed bar. See kingstonarts.com.au
