Greyspace teamed up with Dr Sonique (Nigel Helyer) and SONE on a residency at Bundanon in March 2010. It was an opportunity for two groups of artists with intersecting sound and image practices to come together in project development and project exploration modes. There were two project concepts that were the focus of activity - one a graphic novel and the other a new sound image composition.
The Sone/Greyspace artists and musicians Keith Deverell, Corey Sands and Sue McCauley created a new work incorporating field recordings of birds, prepared screens, and live music sound composition/performance. They made the work in five days and performed it on the 6th day at Bundanon. These artists are also working on a collaborative project with two other Cambodian artists called The Hawkers' Song about the disappearing street hawkers of Phnom Penh. This will be a sound and projection project with exhibition outcomes in Phnom Penh and Melbourne. This residency was an opportunity to develop some ideas around the sound aspects of this project.
