Collaborators
Christopher Harrison
Christopher started composing electronic music while he was at high school. He started off playing live sets at rave parties, and always experimented with less conventional methods and structures. Christoper has established his own style and sound using synthersizers and drum machines, resisting the trend of using computer software to create his music.
In 2007, Christopher began collaborating with various choreographers to create soundscapes specifically for dance pieces. His first major project made it's debut in late 2007, working with choreographers, Simon Hoy and Tim Podesta for Projection Dance Company's "Chameleon Project".
In 2008, Christopher was invited to compose an original score for the Melbourne Ballet Company, as part of Project Two, for a piece called "Zipped".
Noemi Liba
Noemi is a sophisticated vocalist, music-writer and
arranger. Noemi manoeuvres
effortlessly between husky and pure sounds,
between the softly spoken and soaring dynamic
possibilities of voice. Her string arrangements
are stunningly original, and her lyrics are an
honest, direct poetry, encased in lush yet cool
sensual musical soundscape.
Trained in Jazz, and inspired by the expansive
worlds of Middle Eastern, Medieval and
Chamber Music, Industrial and Trance,
Melbourne / Australia-born Noemi has
performed across the globe, and in collaboration
with Yair Dalal and the Chicago Oriental String
Orchestra, with esteemed Biennale artist Heri
Dono and with Kareem Roustram, arranger for
the Grammy award winning performance of
Shakira, and the Melbourne Ballet Company.
An intimate and uniquely passionate live artist,
she is equally at home performing at the
Melbourne Concert Hall, as a guest soloist at the
Vodaphone Arena, at pumping music festivals
and in intimate clubs.
In addition to her music pursuits, Noemi has a
double degree in Literature and Philosophy, is a
painter and has also published a volume of
poetry.
Noemi Liba is based in Melbourne, Australia
and in New York.
Daniel Kaplon
Daniels artistic objective is to capture graffiti images from around the world. The idea of photographing slogan type graffiti lays in the premise of recording at a point in time the history behind the statement. It is a representation of one persons character, feelings, beliefs and even humour.
In 2006 Daniel created the clothing label seven breaths which uses slogan graffiti to create clothes that describe the personality, humour or some other characteristic of the wearer.
Daniels exhibitions include; Melbourne Fringe Festival, Art Melbourne, Urban Graffiti and Brunswick Street Gallery Global Graffiti Solo exhibition.
Daniels images will be exhibited at Chapel off Chapel for Melbourne Ballet Company Project Two.
