| november 2009 release ; deluxe cd / dvd combo covering a series of performances given at the titular event in 2007 by a great selection of contemporary and historic sound artists & instrument builders :: akio suzuki, ernie althoff, bart hopkin, marcel “empirical” bear (performing here with rosy parlane), phillip dadson, metal rouge’s helga “yek koo” fassonaki, tom nunn, walter kitundu, adam willets, and more ...
phil dadson organized the event to showcase both the instruments themselves as well as the builders’ ability to perform / improvise on their own creations ... the event itself was laid out akin to derek bailey’s “company week” ; many of the participants partake in ad hoc groupings (including one intense pile-up w/ pretty much everyone involved) in addition to “demo’ing” their creations via solo “showcases” ...
luxury cd / dvd edition c/o the new zealand atoll label (same that released the fantastic douglas lilburn set - now sadly o/p although i’m hearing rumors of a mid-line reissue early in 2010) in a 6-panel digipak with a lovely matte 12-page booklet offering tons of close-ups of the instruments & players ... completely different tracklist / content for the cd & dvd, with almost 3 hours of self-built instrumental overload ...
highly recommended !!! |

s3d (ear & eye) presented a world of fresh sonics from new and unexpected sources with names as idiosyncratic and offbeat as the players and their inventions; analopos, blue, mothics, shimsaw, zitherum, gloopspring, crustacean, savart's wheel . . & the list goes on.
seven innovators in their field of experimental musical instrument building and performance travelled to auckland to join with 5 local practitioners for three packed days of public workshops and performances, where acoustical, physical, electronic and virtual worlds came together in a unique chemistry.
akio suzuki (japan), bart hopkin, yek koo (helga fassonaki), tom nunn (usa), walter kitundu (tanzania / us), graeme leak, ernie althoff (australia), with marcel bear, sam morrison, james mccarthy, adam willetts & phil dadson (new zealand).
s3d has its genesis in rev, a 5 day worlds-first festival, celebrating musical instrument invention and performance at the power house in brisbane in 2003, where international contributors bart hopkins (usa), david toop, scanner (uk) & phil dadson (nz) were invited to join with local artists for a week of performances, seminars, exhibitions and installations. s3d differs by focussing on builder/performers with improvising skills to work solo and collaboratively through the three days of sonic exploration.
s3d celebrates the magic of the new and unexpected with musical instruments and sounds that blur boundaries between art and music.

held march 17, 18, 19, 2007, galatos theatre, as part of ak07.
