Clock In
Mark Hooper featuring Steve Schulz on percussion and Harry McCullough on visuals.
An experimental live and improvised audio visual performance, using found objects, field recordings, drones, motor rhythm percussion and generative live video. Inspired by the industrial textures and soundscapes of the Latrobe Valley, Mark, Steve and Harry explore the nature of sound and industrial aesthetics, drawing the audience into the realm of the industrial and ‘the machine’, whilst also reflecting upon the mechanisms of electricity and labour that underpin modern society.
