Slime mouldS and Mountain Harp

My next project is a collaboration with Sarah Lloyd and Suzy Turner for a performance in the planetarium at HIVE, Ulverstone. Sarah’s exquisite images of slime mould will be projected much larger than life on the planetarium dome, while Suzy and I play the Garry Greenwood Tasmanian Mountain Harp and electric violin.

The performances will be Sunday, June 15. I’ll add the ticket link as soon as it’s available.

ABOUT ME

The world is an interesting place. I am a curious and restless explorer of sounds, sights, relationships, and ideas. Music has remained a core passion, but exactly how I engage with it changes frequently. Perhaps I have a short attention span. My favourite experiences are collaborations with people from other disciplines: science, visual arts, photography, activists, theologians... A diverse community has got to be healthier.

Artist bio

Karlin Greenstreet Love

Karlin is perpetually looking for surprises: ‘Ooh! That’s bigger/deeper/wider than I’d thought!’ for herself, for performers, and for audiences.

She aims to gently extend and expand traditional sound worlds and provoke greater democracy in ensemble music-making. She has been commissioned by numerous Tasmanian and Australian performers, notably saxophonist Jabra Latham, Clarion214 clarinet quartet, lutenist Susan King, and the University of Tasmania Community Music Program. She is a fully-represented composer with the Australian Music Centre and published by Wirripang.

In addition to composing, she is a teacher, community provocateur, curator and producer, and performer on Greenwood leather instruments, guitar, and clarinets. She has coordinated, produced and co-produced many projects, workshops, and performances including for MOFO, the Launceston General Hospital, University of Tasmania, Mapatazi, Tamar Peace Festival, and Launceston Improvised Music Association. Over the years she accumulated a few degrees (PhD, MA(hons), BMus, BA).
