As part of the Totally Huge New Music Festival 2009

7.30pm WAAPA Main Auditorium

A pdf of the program is also available. This includes details of the works and the ensemble.

[full reviews of this concert can be found here]. The technical rider is also available.

This concert focuses on works that involve acoustic instruments playing with the ‘tape’ as another instrument.  The group works on this concept in a number of ways: literally on tape, CD, with sampler, turntable or computer. The performance features works written for Decibel by Warren Burt and a commission from emerging Western Australian composer Dan Thorne.

“This was [Decibel's] first performance, lets hope there are many more to follow” The West Australian.
