Vivid Music: Musify + Gamify – Concerts

Event Details

Musify+Gamify looks at contemporary perspectives on ‘play’, where musical play and game play coincide, from the 20th century music revolutions in sonic liberation and participation, to the new digital interactive technologies that allow built environments to become dynamic experiences.

At the core of the event will be two concerts of adventurous experimental music by leading Australian artists, including Robbie Avenaim and Chris Abrahams, Ensemble Offspring, Alon Ilsar and 7Bit Hero. These will take place in the Seymour Centre. Each concert will be augmented by interventions happening outside the auditorium that involve “gamified” audience participation in the creation of music.

An exhibition throughout the foyer of the Seymour Centre will present an international series of musifications and gamifications, videogames, generative music and contemporary immersive and interactive experiences, including works by Lucas Abela, David Kanaga, Michaela Davies and The Futile Research Lab.
