The latest work from Australian artist and composer Robin Fox, Triptych unites his two creative passions: electronic music and audiovisual mechanical synaesthesia. A marriage of sound and light, this immersive audiovisual experience uses custom-built hardware to create simultaneous sound from laser graphics. The resulting audiovisual synchresis is nested within the vast soundscapes and raw voltage glitch composition that distinguish Fox’s work in the experimental electronic music world. Triptych is influenced by the pioneering work of Polish émigré artist Stanislaus ‘Stan’ Ostoja-Kotkowski, who spent decades creating instruments and installations that treated sound and light as equal parts of a whole. Uniquely mapped to each performance venue, Triptych is an intentionally somatic work that can only be experienced in person; an invitation to community in the face of digital isolationism.
‘Fox pairs light with audio to create a fully synaesthetic experience that proposes different ways to imagine the structure of sound’ – The Quietus
‘the equivalent of seeing a major pop star condense their stadium show into your local band room’ – NME Magazine Australia
