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 moulds 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. Tickets at:

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).
