Moore, Kate
Revolver
The music on this album was originally written for Restraints, a dance piece by Australian artist Ken Unsworth with The
Australian Dance Artists premiered 31 October 2017 in Sydney.
Kate Moore's richly multi layered imagination creates a score of diverse and challenging opportunities with some
beautiful moments for the dance performers. The notion of a score for Restraints that should create uncertainties for
the dancers puts them off kilter so they can refocus to produce new spectacles of movement and emotion.
Ken Unsworth.
Inspired by the kinetic physicality and aesthetics of balance found in Ken Unsworth's work, the music embodies a feeling
of suspension between movement and stasis. Evolving and revolving melodies, poised skilfully in polyrhythmic structures,
the music creates an intoxicating and emotional impression. There is a feeling of constant motion and flow of sonic
currents that typifies much of Kate Moore's music.
The music shifts from the material world, the gradually shifting stone-like cycles of the title track "Revolver", the
restrained power and poignancy of "The Boxer" to the various slow unfurling melodies of the tightrope inspired "Song Of
Ropes", and finally to a contemplation of the immaterial in "Way Of The Dead".
The pieces are performed with extraordinary virtuosity by the musicians Anna McMichael, Rowena Macneish, Kirsty McCahon,
Genevieve Lang and Claire Edwardes. This album is Kate Moore's first collaboration with Unsounds. Anna McMichael has
released several projects with the label.
