Tone List are pleased to present an opportunity to gather and listen to performances from interstate visitors, here to participate in our annual Sounding Together improviser's retreat.
Dale Gorfinkel works in rhythmic groups Chikchika and Prophets, multiple improvisation-driven projects, sound sculpture creation, and inclusive participatory music. One of the deepest listeners we know, his work was profiled on Disclaimer by Jen Callaway, articulating his distinct approach.
Regular Tone List attendees might remember Dale Gorfinkel's 'headbanging' performance from 2025 on multiple drum kits, detuned guitars & sample pads. For this show he works with a number of his other inventions: a kind of 'acoustic modular synthesiser' made of garden irrigation materials, balloons, resonators and pumps, and other lo-fi sound contraptions.
Dale is joined by Sounding Together participant Gabriella Hill, a tenor saxophonist connected to Splinter Orchestra and to Sydney's burgeoning scene for left-field jazz, and Elsa Mona, a local multi-disciplinary artist using dance and sound to work in the tension between brutality and tenderness.
