HAMISH UPTON + JAMES HULLICK

percussion /// electronics /// voice

Rotor Assembly is an electronics and percussion duo by master Australian composer and sound artist James Hullick and leading percussionist Hamish Upton. The duo embodies a longstanding working relationship, with the duo also playing in Strange James and BOLT Ensemble events. Both Hullick and Upton will be touring Japan together and the UK in 2024 performing in several JOLT Arts productions.

Mountain Black, Turbine Sky (60 min) was first performed by Rotor Assembly in 2018 at the Melbourne Recital Centre. Since that time Hullick has developed the work further such that it has now mutated into an abstract sonic art theatre work in the vein of Samuel Beckett. There is a loose narrative or concept that underpins the work: two industrial monastic workers feed the pollution machine.

Composer – James Hullick. 60 min show.
