“The night is focused on creating highly engaging experiences that go beyond the scope of normal concert,” says Lachlan Dale, label manager of Art As Catharsis. “We’ve been inspired by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi’s work on the experience of Flow – which are beautiful, immersive states in which we feel the boundaries between ourselves and our environment vanish.”
“We’ve paired a range of exceptional Sydney-based musicians with talented local artists, and asked them to collaborate to create a multi-sensory performance that mimics the experience of flow states.”
Art As Catharsis are known for releasing profoundly varied Australian music from across the spectrum, and this evening will be no different. Headlining the evening is pianist and composer Sophie Hutchings, who will give a special meditative, improvised performance accompanied by visuals provided by her brother, Scott Hutchings.
“Writing instrumental music is a way of me expressing something that resonates deep within without having to form words” says Sophie. “That’s the beauty of instrumental music, it’s felt not spoken, and sometimes the things we feel can’t always be put into words and I think music replacing that can be something special on its own… I like the listener to be able to feel something resonate deep within without necessarily having to explain it.”
FLOW: An Audio Visual Experience is part of the 107 Presents program for Vivid Sydney 2018. Continue to experience Sydney’s independent music culture, up close and intimate, with In Frequency on June 8.
