After releasing five albums in 2 years The Amplified Elephants are looking forward to re-developing an older and shorter work titled Select Naturalis. The new version of the project Select Naturalis 2.0 has been expanded into a full length production and explores the process of natural selection from the perspective of sound and sounds in the environment. This production includes The Amplified Elephants working with a bespoke audiovisual interface named Resonance, which moves sound through the space via a multi speaker diffusion system. Resonance has been developed by the Duckworth Hullick Duo and researchers and technologists at RMIT University, and in collaboration with JOLT Arts.
JOLT Arts is assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body.
