the music box project

CHANGING EARS: Just your usual afternoon of music made from teapots, toys, skateboards, noise, zombies, data, music, etc. This Upstairs is curated by Elizabeth Jigalin. Make your way up the stairs at The Glebe Hotel and join the music box project for an afternoon of music outside the usual order of things. Sit back in a green (or red) velvet lounge, listen to curious, ear-exciting, living music made now and feel the warmth of live sound you’ve missed experiencing with others.

Artfully beguiling, subtly chaotic and deliciously zany, the music box project brings you the Sydney premiere of Shallow Listening. Five ‘sonic pillars’ of exploratory works are woven together with a performative sinew of sound, motion and play. From the clicking of scissors to slow motion singing, cheeky meditations on red, a panel of toys and the catharsis of an internal dialogue — leave your expectations at the door and join the ensemble for an evening of signature music box madness.
