CANCELLED - Trigger Happy 'Visualised'
"Man, body, music, and light as one… A perfect amalgam between man-machine" Amnplify.
"...like peeking around the corner of the time-space continuum and glimpsing the future" Sydney Morning Herald.
A cutting-edge fusion of technology, music, and visual arts, Adelaide audiences have an opportunity to experience instrument inventor, producer and percussionist Alon Ilsar pull shapes, colours, and textures out of thin air with hypnotic, pulsing beats, using his body as an invisible drum kit.
Alon Ilsar brings music from Comatone & Foley's Trigger Happy releases to life, utilising his custom-design audio-visual instrument, the AirSticks, projecting visuals designed by Matt Hughes onto a transparent screen separating Alon from the audience. The result is mesmerising.
Presented by: Alon Ilsar
