Simon J Karis is a Melbourne/Naarm-based electronic composer, sound artist and head of the label Nice Music, presenting the best marginal electronic and experimental music Australia’s underground has to offer. Karis’ musical output across labels such as Altered States Tapes, Vienna Press and Nice Music is a varied, visceral and romantic meshing of synthesis, concrète sounds, techno/dance-oriented forms and occasionally wrenching melodic patterns. He has performed alongside Mount Kimbie, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, Fia Fiell, James Rushford, Y-L Hooi, Makeda, JG Biberkopf, Lisa Lerkenfeldt and more.
Splinter is a radically inclusive large-scale improvising orchestra that has been a forum for listening and sounding together for well over 100 exploratory musicians and sound artists living in or passing through Sydney for two decades. Currently we have a diverse membership of roughly 25. Our process of co-creation and the resulting music is probably best left undefined — amorphous and ephemeral qualities being inherent to the project — but we can say that playing is the group’s fundamental activity. We meet weekly, with ever-fluctuating line-ups, to do just that. Much of our public work in the last few years has been an exploration of ‘choreographed’ play in vast spaces, particularly outdoors, including Mungo National Park, Bundanon and The Pilliga, where we listen, move, sound and record, (and then listen back to the inscribed phenomena on our apparatus). In recent years we’ve developed an interest in sound installations, consisting of self-playing instruments, interactive sound-sculptures, visual and text provocations, sound devices and more. The elements of these ‘Splintstallations’, just like the many voices of Splinter, work together, sometimes in parallel, sometimes intersecting.
