Live Music

Projection

By Anna Whitaker and Riley Towers

An experimental sound-bath of electronic art, Full Spectrum is a site-responsive performance work from multi award-winning composer and sound designer, Anna Whitaker, and projection artist, Riley Towers.

Part-performance-art-part-gig, immerse yourself in a loud and chaotic world of loops, distortions and filters made live on stage, as original music collides with live-programmed visuals.

A “love letter to AV” (Nothing Ever Happens In Brisbane), Anna and Riley invite you to a safe space to move, groove, or lay and let it all wash over you, as you take in a smorgasbord of thrilling textures for the eyes and ears, a collage of vocals and visuals.

"...like stepping into a hallucinogenic-fuelled electronic music video or the dreams of a newly sentient AI."

— Nothing Ever Happens In Brisbane
