LOVERS
Julian Day’s sculptural intervention features two pairs of matching
synthesisers pinned vertically between the floor and ceiling by long
metal rods. The rods act as frozen fingers that depress the keys and
produce drones that fill the space. Showing in the La Trobe Visual Arts
Centre’s foyer - a necessarily transitory or ‘non-space’ - this brilliant
work’s first Victorian appearance makes for the perfect precursor to
the opening night of BIFEM 2014. Installation runs until October 5, 2014.

installation Workshop: dale gorfinkel
BIFEM is delighted to host multi-instrumentalist, improviser, instrument builder,
installation artist and educator Dale Gorfinkel as he pioneers a new way of
bringing his many worlds together with the help of Bendigo kids. With his
part-instrument-building workshop, part-performance installation, Dale inspires
children to awaken the music of everyday objects in the world around them.
Workshop participants do not take away with them the thing they build, but
with Dale’s guidance, find a way to integrate their creation into the installation.
Places in the two workshop sessions are strictly limited; however, the resulting
installation is open across the festival weekend for everyone to admire.

BIFEM invites you to observe the
best emerging talent in local musical
composition in this new initiative for
2014. This open rehearsal on the stage
of The Capital, will see young Bendigo
VCE composition students working
directly with Argonaut musicians in
the realisation of their pieces. The
open rehearsal follows on from earlier
in-school contact with the students: a
show-and-tell session and workshop
designed to explore new ways of
thinking and composing. Wander
in and out, or sit in for the whole
rehearsal.

colloquium:
duration & durability
Convened by ALISTAIR NOBLE
As governments everywhere tilt towards
being more markedly authoritarian and
are increasingly aligned with the interests
of the holders of large-scale capital, the
composition of long-form works seems a
fundamentally transgressive practice.
This colloquium will investigate this
political, social and musical deviance,
asking: what is the function of the
long work; what kinds of tension and
conflict are involved, either in creation,
performance, or listening; and how much
does the long work tap into pre-capitalist
vestiges of religion, rite and mysticism?
Panel members for this colloquium
include BIFEM Associate Artist Tristram
Williams, musicologist Richard Toop and
composers Fernando Garnero, Marielle
Groven, Thomas Reiner, James Rushford
and Daniel Zea.

eric lamb
A new initiative in 2014, this performance lecture
is given by US-born Vienna-based flautist Eric
Lamb. Fielding questions from the floor, Eric will
provide personal insight into the hidden labour and
processes involved in preparing virtuosic music.

by Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho, this informal
and free event is open to musicians, composers,
students and public alike.

recital: PLUTON
French composer Phillipe
Manoury wrote this
extraordinary five-movement
epic at IRCAM almost thirty
years ago in collaboration
with the software pioneer
Miller Puckette. Aside
from the demanding piano
writing, performed in this
Australasian premiere by
remarkable Melbourne
soloist Peter Dumsday,
Pluton is the first major
piece of music to use
MAX/MSP software for
live audio signal processing
and diffusion. BIFEM
2013 alumnus Samuel
Dunscombe returns to
Bendigo to perform the
live electronics in this
milestone work.

FREE EVENT
Banquet Room
Musicologist Richard
Toop will reflect on
his close relationship
with Stockhausen and
his work (especially
the later pieces),
as well as touching
on Stockhausen’s
continuing appeal
to some younger
composers. His free
public lecture will also
look at some favourite
new compositional
practices in a sector
increasingly connected
through technology,
despite its geofragmentary nature.
With rare intelligence
and insight, Richard
Toop has maintained
peerless respect
across a career
spanning several
decades. He is indeed
a very special guest of
BIFEM in 2014.
This public lecture is possible thanks to BIFEM patron
Commissioner Leigh Johns.

music theatre: bug
For their final presentation in BIFEM
2014, Geneva’s Ensemble Vortex
presents the Australian premiere
of Arturo Corrales’ Bug. This threemovement work was realised for
the first time earlier this year as the
music-theatre trilogy the composer
originally conceived. The works
highlight the virtuosity and dexterity
of all players, particularly Guitarist
Mauricio Carrasco, who is both
a Vortex founding member
and a BIFEM Associate Artist.
Please note that this performance
contains smoke effects.

music theatre: sirius
The Australian premiere of Sirius
provides a rare chance for audiences
to experience a work described by
Stockhausen biographer Michael
Kurtz as ‘a modern mystery play,
clothed as a science fiction story’. This
strange, lyrical universe created by
the twentieth-century compositional
icon features the Australian début
of sensational soprano Tiffany
Du Mouchelle and bass-baritone
Nicholas Isherwood, whose peerless
interpretative authority on the work
stems from a 23-year collaboration
with Stockhausen. Clarinettist Richard
Haynes makes a welcome return to
Australia in his BIFEM début, alongside
Stockhausen champion and BIFEM
Associate Artist, Tristram Williams.
10.30PM SATURDAY September 6

performance lecture: ashley smith
The second performance lecture of BIFEM 2014 puts us up close
and personal to Perth clarinettist Ashley Smith. Beginning with a
performance of British composer Brian Ferneyhough’s fiendishly
difficult Bass Clarinet solo, Time and Motion Study I, Ashley will
discuss the challenges and rewards of tackling highly complex
notated music. Bring a coffee and any question you might have for
Ashley, as this informal free event is open to musicians, composer
and public alike.

COLLOQUIUM: WIRED
Convened by BENJAMIN KOLAITIS
Wired will be a discussion about
the role of technology in the
production of composition. Music
has engaged with many forms of
technology, whether software,
electronic synthesis or mechanical
robots. Are we master or slave to
the technology that enables our
musical aesthetics? And is this just
an inevitable transition waiting to
happen? Many of these interesting
questions will be unpacked
by a panel including BIFEM
Associate Artist Mauricio Carrasco,
musicologist Richard Toop and
composers Arturo Corrales,
Fernando Garnero, Elliott Gyger,
Clara Maïda, Benoît Moreau,
and Daniel Zea.

Much loved and admired,
the late great Argentinian

you to come and be a part of
its Australian premiere. If you
can ride a bike and (sort of)
whistle, ring a bell or make
swishing noises, then you’ve
got the job! BIFEM invites you
to be one of only 111 players in
this unforgettably fun musical
event. Eine Brise (A Breeze)
will be performed, where else,
but the Tom Flood Velodrome.

TRIO: GOLDEN FUR
BIFEM 2014 presents renowned trio Golden Fur’s first major repertoire concert
in four years. With each having appeared individually in our inaugural festival,
many audience members asked why they weren’t playing together. We heard
you, so here they are! Golden Fur promise an exciting concert that will highlight
the instrumental virtuosity, electro-acoustic know-how and aesthetic flair for
which they are celebrated. Australian premieres include the extreme fragile
beauty of Ben Isaacs; the romantic micro-tonality of Ivan Wyschnegradsky;
and the violence and austerity of Chikako Morishita. Golden Fur also revisit the
eponymous work they commissioned from David Chisholm in 2010, and deliver
the Victorian premiere of Anthony Pateras’s Nekkersdaal Eden.
