ANTHONY MAGEN

Anthony Magen (Melbourne) is interested in the relationship between people within the landscape and this concept covers many surfaces and textures from urban masterplanning to small scale sonic sculpture, responses to understanding 'NOISE' and what it means to people and places.

He has been exploring the otic sense through field recordings and contact mic experiments and with many australian improvisors, electrofringe 2004 (Instant Places workshop + J.stern + P.blamey) and SooB 2004 (Brisbane noise orchestra + j.stern + C.Cooper) and regular Melbourne night (plug n' play) and is an avid contributor to the rotating members of the splinter orchestra. Recent sound works include Reconciliation as part of the 2005 NowNow festival held in Sydney and dropping ephemeral sonic interventions in Melbourne that appear and disappear in an irregularly coherent fashion. Working within the landscape architecture professional means projects can range in scale from town masterplans to designs for a childrens playground requiring varying responses in development and construction. These processes inform and reveal a desire to infuse 'process focused' landscape work with an audible twist.
