Assemblage
Presented by Music at McClelland.
Assemblage
In Assemblage, Speak’s Assistant Artistic Director Kaylie Melville showcases works at the forefront of post-instrumental practice – a movement revealing the hidden musical potential in everyday objects. A doll-house drum kit, a plant, a hairdryer and saw blades sit alongside an array of traditional percussion instruments, creating a universe of endless sonic possibilities.
