about

CURRENT comprises two compositions by Philip Samartzis interrogating the technology and infrastructure of electric power generation. Flow, originally commissioned by Frequency OZ and Kunstradio ORF Austria, traces the containment and circulation of water through the series of linked power stations comprising the Kiewa Hydroelectric Scheme. Extraction is a collaborative work with Michael Vorfeld [DE] that posits sound recordings of the brown coal mines of the Yallourn Valley with improvised performances using electric lightbulbs, switches and relays.
