Werner Dafeldecker. Recorded across the Antarctic Peninsula and produced in Brisbane
Australia, Shadow of the Monolith works across aesthetic disciplines exploring
electroacoustic transformations of atmospheric, hydrophonic and ionospheric materials.
The raw materials have been layered, processed and structured into a record that drifts
from dense microscopic cracks to vibrant shifting frequencies, from sections of profound
white stillness to storms of intense activity, from intense light to improbable dark and
from immersive macrospaces to nonspaces.
Lawrence English is composer, media artist and curator based in Australia. Working
across an eclectic array of aesthetic investigations, English’s work prompts questions
of field, perception and memory. English utilizes a variety of approaches including live
performance and installation to create works that ponder subtle transformations of
space and ask audiences to become aware of that which exists at the edge of perception.
Werner Dafeldecker’s background is in European modern music and improvisation,
examination of graphical notations, Fluxus, minimal music, electro acoustic music, jazz
and field recordings. His musical projects are often inspired and deduced by outside
influences such as architecture, =physics, photography and film. Longtime sound and
structure studies and the formulation of distinct articulations are in the center of his
work as a composer and musician and are parallel to technological developments often
connected with electronic form.

and Esperanza bases, Antarctica Summer2010. Written and produced by Lawrence
