A Face Like Yours invites the audience to take part in a sonic exploration of their own face; the experience ‘amplified’ by inserting foam earplugs into their ears.
Following the visual instructions from the performer on screen the audience are led through a series of actions to create a soundscape that only they can hear.
The piece leads the player through a series of thuds, flickers, hums, squishes, tingles, powerful bass tones and miniature sounds, as they explore the varied textures and sonic landscapes of their own head. A Face Like Yours uses the medium of silent film to create a visual score, requiring the active participation and imagination of its viewers to sound the work.
Composer, clarinetist, improviser and performance artist Aviva Endean is Artist in Residence during Music Meeting 2024. This extraordinary Australian musician dedicates her artistic life to connecting people and their environment by making them listen attentively to the unknown between sound and music.
