SOUND/IMAGE FESTIVAL

SOUND/IMAGE FESTIVAL

 —  —

University of Greenwich, London

The SOUND/IMAGE audiovisual festival brings together international artists and experts exploring the relationship between sounds and images, and the images which sounds can construct by themselves. The festival delivers a rich programme of complementary talks, screenings, loudspeaker orchestra concerts, and performances – bringing together composers, filmmakers, electronic musicians, live visual performers, researchers from all over the world to stimulate discussion, debate and engage diverse perspectives and new insights on sound and audiovisual practice. Selected as one of the performed works is 'Bundanon' by Anthony Lyons - a fixed media, multi-channel spatialised sound work. The work was written as a reflection on the land and spirit of the location Bundanon on the Shoalhaven river, NSW, Australia.

Casting Light Projecting Ripples

Casting Light Projecting Ripples

(AEST, UTC+10) (AEST, UTC+10)

Ionion Centre for Arts and Culture, Metaxata, Kefalonia, Greece

An audiovisual installation work by Australian composer/artist Anthony Lyons that is inspired by the light, foliage, rock and mirrored blue waters of Zervati Cave. Through a process of bio-mapping and re-imagination of the sounds, plant data, light and wave patterns of Zervati as they resonate onto and off the cave walls, this work captures moments of suspended beauty, emergent patterns and rhythmic processes through the interplay of light, shadow and sound.

'Casting Light Projecting Ripples' is an immersive installation integrating field-recordings, synthesis, plant sensors, and video. The work aspires to unveil fresh perspectives and direct attention toward UNESCO GeoPark sites — extraordinary realms of ecological significance and rare beauty.

(This Project is supported by the Australian Government's Arts and Cultural Development Program, Regional Arts Australia and Regional Arts Victoria)

Screening at the 2023 Melbourne International Animation Festival is a collaborative audiovisual work called 'Remote Connections' that animator Paul Fletcher and Anthony Lyons did during the long lockdown periods of Covid.
