Undertow

Electronic composer and cellist Bridget Chappell (Hextape) takes contemporary and historical data of local water management and water colonisation sourced from the City of Melbourne's Open Data Platform, and runs it through a process of sonification to create UNDERTOW - a stunning original work composed for cello, electronics and Melbourne's extraordinary public sound sculpture: the Federation Bells. The result is a searingly original data-driven work that combines neoclassical strings, industrial percussion, glitch and the Bells to create an exciting and thought-provoking site-specific sound work.
