The “Sound Circus” band is currently touring outback ‘Corner Country’ New South Wales.  This band is comprised of a rather unusual combination of instruments including traditional ones such as the clarinet, violin, double bass, trumpet and trombone, as well as some quirky instruments such as the fence wire, gum leaf and amplified glass.

Sound Circus is modelled on the traditional idea of a travelling circus.  In this case, there is a team of sound artists, performing or installing new and experimental music.

The sonic odyssey will feature new and old technologies such as auto-drumming, a huge ball and sonic sculpture projects intermingled with the traditional instruments in environmental contexts.

The emphasis will be on live music that uses interactive technology, engages with the environment, and connects to the people who live in the Corner Country.
