After blockbuster shows at the National Gallery of Victoria Exhibition Napoleon Art After Dark, Benjamin Skepper plays the Corner Hotel in a very special preview of his debut at MONA FOMA 2013 where he will perform with the likes of David Byrne & St Vincent, The Dirty Projectors, and many more.
Tokyo-based Melbourne born Skepper has gained international recognition for his solo performance installation style, creating stunning sound works in Palaces, Art Museums, Shinto Shrines, Churches, Medieval Clock Towers, Cemeteries, Gym Lockers and most recently sampling champagne for Dom Perignon in Japan.
In a new creative chapter, the artists’ multimedia performance will bring the audio and visual spheres into orbit, with symbiotic visual projections by Tomoya Kishimoto. Expect newly mastered field recordings from world travels in Turkey, Japan, France and Italy contrasted with songs from recently released 3rd solo album “Inimitable” and beyond.
Skepper’s trademark live looping and sampling on harpsichord, cello and sound objects will take you on a mesmeric and magical journey into the harmony of the spheres.
Don’t miss Mr. Skeppers’ show as it’s bound to both amaze and delight Aussie audiences.
