Inland 19.5: Part 3: Free Talks (Anthony Burr & Carolyn Schofield)

INLAND is a concert series of Australian exploratory music, spanning notated, improvised, electroacoustic, popular and interdisciplinary practices - aiming to locate manifestations of the experimental and antagonistic impulse without regard to guild nor discipline, and inviting creators spanning diverse sound-based practices to a shared performance context. Whilst also serving as a context for work by international artists, INLAND’s curatorial principles maintain a narrow temporal and (almost parochial) geographical focus on the work of living Australian artists.INLAND aims to create a unique space in the wider context of the new music landscape - one where concerts and performers are not framed in terms of particular technical approaches (notated as distinct from improvised, acoustic as distinct from electronic) or considered primarily through the lens of genre, thereby standing in constructive and complementary relation to its musical, artistic, and ideological neighbors.To date INLAND has hosted over 50 performances across Australia, and featured the work of over 150 Australian and international artists, including: Chris Abrahams, Oren Ambarchi, Natasha Anderson, Jessica Aszodi, Chiri, Peter Evans, Will Guthrie, Michael Kieran Harvey, Jessika Kenney,Okkyung Lee, Evelyn Ida Morris, and Anthony Pateras.Documentation of all previous events is available at: www.inlandconcertseries.net

-- Anthony Burr has enjoyed a distinguished career as an exponent of contemporary music. He has performed in this repertoire with many leading groups, including Elision, Either/Or, Klangforum Wien, Ensemble Sospeso, and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. As a soloist, Anthony has worked with many leading composers in presenting their music, including Alvin Lucier, Helmut Lachenmann, Chaya Czernowin, Liza Lim and Brian Ferneyhough. He has played extensively outside of classical music with major figures including Jim O'Rourke, John Zorn and Laurie Anderson. His ongoing projects include a duo with Icelandic bassist and composer Skúli Sverrisson, the Clarinets (a trio with Chris Speed and Oscar Noriega), a series of recordings with cellist Charles Curtis and a series of live film and music performances with experimental filmmaker Jennifer Reeves. Anthony also maintains an active career as a recording engineer and producer. At UC San Diego, he has taught graduate seminars on musical aesthetics, undergraduate classes in music theory and popular music, and regularly performs classical repertoire with the Camera Lucida series. 
Melbourne electronic musician Carolyn Schofield, aka Fia Fiell, combines her profound practical and theoretical chops as a pianist and composer with a most modern and perceptive ear for stretching out the orbit of millennial electronic music constructs. As a live performer, Carolyn plays and processes multiple synths in real time to create hauntingly ethereal, unsettling and other-worldly soundscapes, a sound which formed the basis of her first release, “A Hair, A Heap” on Melbourne label Nice Music in 2016. Since then, Carolyn’s unique live shows have seen her invited to perform at festivals including Freedom Time, Inner Varnika, Obsidian Festival and Melbourne Fashion Week, as well as her own headline performance in multichannel sound presented by Play On at Melbourne Music Week, which was commissioned as a site-specific work at the Melbourne Docklands’ Mission to Seafarers Dome. 
Heavily influenced by the rhythms and movements of the natural world as well as musical romanticism, Carolyn often explores meditative and subtly-shifting sonic landscapes in her music, with improvisation forming a large part of her compositional processes and live performances. She has an unnatural knack for wielding the hi-res vapour clouds which form and nebulize around uneasy chords and melodic cycles, perhaps conjuring a notion of childlike wonderment and trepidation in the face of an unmapped universe around us.
