Preludes and Nocturnes

Preludes and Nocturnes is an evening of music composed by PJNoack for three keyboards, accompanied by hypnotic projected imagery. Performed by the composer with well-known Melbourne performers and musical identities William Elm and Gareth Wiecko, Preludes and Nocturnes explores unfolding ideas in a post-minimalist sound world.
A diverse cycle of pieces for one, two and three keyboard players, Preludes and Nocturnes reflects on being alone, being together; and what these mean when everything around us is changing.
Preludes and Nocturnes welcomes the listener into a sonic environment that evokes Bach and Chopin through to Philip Glass, Steve Reich and John Cage. A cascade of pieces – varying from one, two or three performers – unites with stunning visuals by projection artist Jim Walter in a breathtaking and transportive experience.
Preludes and Nocturnes is performed without interval and listeners are invited to sit back, nurse a drink and enjoy an evocative, enthralling and memorable evening of sound and vision, presented at a legendary queer venue in the heart of Fitzroy.
