TENGGER Volume Festival at the Art Gallery of NSW

  • Art Gallery of NSW (map)

An all-ages evening featuring a travelling family band, toy instruments, vintage cartoons and vibraphone in the Tank.

South Korean–Japanese musical family TENGGER create psychedelic drone magic with harmonium, voice and analogue synths. Couple itta and Marqido are joined on stage by their 10-year-old son RAAI whose interpretative dancing has become a trademark of the band’s energetic live shows.

The tremble of the vibraphone meets the Tank’s ten-second reverb in Kim Moyes’ (The Presets) rare solo performance for percussion. Expansive soundscapes oscillate across the North Building’s unique architecture as Moyes plays twice, both above and below ground.

Witty, pop-infused text works by Seoul-based net art pioneers Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries will loop throughout the evening, alongside visuals by Dena Springer and Alvin Ruiyuan Zhong inspired by VHS animation, ’90s video game music and kawaii aesthetics. Plus, the premiere of a new score by local multi-instrumentalist and composer Megan Alice Clune, following her acclaimed recent release Furtive glances (2023).

Sunday 24 September 2023, 6–10pm at North Building.
