Dr AudiYO’s Giant Adventure, a rollicking, sound-led, choose-your-own-adventure show for the whole family will kick imaginations into overdrive at Arts Centre Melbourne’s Fairfax Studio from 21 – 25 September 2021. Created and performed by theatremaker and comedian Holly Austin, Dr AudioYO’s Giant Adventure follows the quest of Dr AudiYO, a beatboxing clown-come-superhero. Using only her ‘magic looping bum bag’ and calling upon the wily ways of the audience, Dr AudiYO sets off on a surreal adventure to slay The Beast, who is on a rampage to silence the city. On a bare stage, using only her voice, a microphone and wireless looping technology, Austin brings to life a wondrous world of giants, music and cats. Think Mr Bean meets Godzilla thrown down a rabbit hole to find Alice and Dr Seuss. The work, directed by Dr Miles O'Neil of award-winning company The Suitcase Royale, fuses old school clowning and mime techniques with new skool beatbox and cutting edge wireless looping technology to connect with young audiences. The importance of imaginative play sits at the heart of this work. Together with Dr AudiYO, the audience create and complete the show to become the true heroes of the performance. The work celebrates the audience’s participation and highlights the power of connection and collective action as they help Dr AudiYO save the day. Austin was inspired to create Dr AudiYO’s Giant Adventure after developing the character of Dr AudiYO in her previous work for families that she co-wrote and created, Ruby’s Wish. "After the success of Ruby’s Wish, I wanted to create a solo work that pushed the capabilities of the looper technology even further whilst continuing to explore themes that I hold close to my heart," she said. "Using our imagination and playing make believe is something we do brilliantly as kids and it’s my hope that this show unleashes the wild creative beast within - no matter how old you are." Holly Austin is one of Australia’s most versatile multi-disciplinary performers. She is celebrated for her individuality in theatre making and her unique vocal dexterity. A NIDA graduate, she has a vast number of screen and theatre credits to her name including performer/writer for Comedy Channel’s Open Slather and recently appeared in Virginia Gay’s new play Cyrano for Melbourne Theatre Company. She is also a musician and beatboxer and has performed with the likes of Martha Wainwright, MC Common, Amanda Palmer, John Butler, Mama Kin, Holly Throsby and at SXSW with Sui Zhen. 'Truly mind-blowing' - Theatre Travels ★★★★★ ‘The incredible vocal stylings of Holly Austin combine with looping technology and mime to create a show that simply flies by as you look on in slack-jawed amazement.’ - Funny Tone "Austin has a kind of genius in her performance, a happy, infectious tenacity. She’s like Sally Hawkins in Happy-Go-Lucky or Audrey Tautou in Amélie." – See Saw Magazine Images can be found here.

DESCENDENTS NEW ALBUM “9TH & WALNUT” OUT NOW

When Bartolomeo Cristofori invented the piano in the 1700s, he had no idea how many different shapes and styles it would take some centuries later. The piano went through classical era inventor John Broadwood, a romantic era in France (of course), and the modern era in which Steinway & Sons, Baldwin, and others contributed to the different styles of piano. Anyone that is musically inclined should understand the different types. Upright Pianos As the name indicates, it is a vertical design. The difference between a grand and an upright piano lies in the way the strings, piano action dampers, and soundboard run upright. This allows it to fit anywhere, including small rehearsal studios, as they don’t take up any more space than a couch. It is very common to see youngsters practice on upright designs. Spinet The spinet is a different style from an upright. Imagine a smaller version of upright, there you go, that’s a spinet! The difference mainly lies in the size rather than structure. It is usually just three feet tall, and they are considered to be the smallest type out there. Console In terms of size, a console stands at forty to forty-four inches tall. This means the console lies between a spinet and an upright piano. But they are much more compact than the upright models. Also, they are much more affordable than the spinet, and they are the most popular among the upright designs. Studio These are yet another type of the upright genre. Their size is around 44” to 47”. They are commonly found in schools and churches, as they are considered to have the best compromise between size and tone. Grand Pianos Owning a genuine grand piano is a privilege, as these are very expensive. They are considered a luxury, and many people like to keep luxury pianos in their homes. Some like them with customization with precious materials as found with a Malachite grand piano, with malachite-veneered and gilt metal mounted piano would look amazing albeit expensive. The Grand models have horizontally placed strings, and they feature a higher ability for note repetitions and the addition of subtle expressions to notes. This is the reason they are considered a great choice for solos and concerts. It is the go-to choice for most professional pianists because of its powerful tone and responsive key action. Here are the styles a grand may be available in: Petite Grand The size lies between 4’6 to 5’. It is the smallest of the grand models, and you’ll find that any grand piano less than five feet is considered to be a petite grand. Baby Grand The Baby grand ranges in length from 5 to 5’6 ft. It is designed to produce more sound in a small space. If it is remarkably long, it may be called medium grand or parlor grand. It is the best choice if there is limited room in the house or the space that you’re considering. Medium Grand A medium grand is between 5’6 to 6’6 in length. Somehow, they are a little difficult to purchase, as they are usually not readily available nowadays Parlor Grand/Classic The name comes from the fact that in the past, they were used most often in the parlors. These are between 5’6 to 6’1 in length, and they are suitable for large rooms in a home, a recital hall, or moderate rehearsal spaces. Semi-concert /Ballroom/Professional It is approximately 6’5 to 7’5 feet in length. Concert Grand This type of piano is the full-size version of the style baby grand, but it comes with longer strings, a more resonant sound, and a comparatively larger soundboard. Grand pianos are seen as a part of a symphony orchestra, especially when a soloist is performing a piano concerto. Large recording studios have these as official studio pianos. Electric An electric or a digital piano produces the sound electronically without the vibrating strings. These models also referred to as synthesizers, can create orchestral sounds through computing languages. They first became popular with jazz musicians, because, with these, the pianists could duplicate the solo breaks of a guitarist along with the cording. Most of the traveling bands prefer these as they can be carried on the road easily. If you’re a musically inclined person, now you have a better understanding of the types and styles of pianos out there. Whether you need one for your home, school, or a concert hall or if you’re a part of a band, looking at the types that have been mentioned here, it is now easier to decide based on the size and the style you require. So, go ahead and get that piano!

COLD HART ANNOUNCES SOPHOMORE ALBUM “EVERY DAY IS A DAY”

$Pictured: Left - Katz, Right - Fractures Download Hi-Res Image Today, Melbourne-based songwriter and producer Katz shares 'Forward' - the latest single from his forthcoming second EP, due August 13 via Dot Dash / Remote Control Records. The oscillating synths and bright, futuristic sounds of ‘Forward’ feature the vocals of well-loved Melbourne artist Fractures, whose pristine delivery provides a point of contrast to the syncopated chord stabs, chopped vocals samples, and break-style beat of Katz’s instrumental. As ‘Forward’ continues to build around its spiralling synths, the synchronicity between Katz’s production and Fractures’s vocals grows into a genuinely lovely moment of cinematic, emotionally-driven indie pop. Fractures says: “The track had a lightness that guided the melody lines but we couldn’t resist putting a dark spin on the lyrics.” “‘Forward’ is full of constructive criticism - it’s about someone shirking their own ambitions and making excuses for unrealised potential”, adds Katz. “‘Forward’ is the second track Mark (Fractures) and I have written together. In contrast to the slow jam/neo-soul-tinged ‘Cipher’ (from the Waterfall EP), with ‘Forward’ we set out to make something a bit more airy and pop-focussed, but still a little dark, lyrically speaking. As a harmony-loving piano player, it was a lot of fun building thick vocal stacks and floating them over what is a relatively spare instrumental. We definitely laboured over those harmonies, making sure the right layer would cut through at the right time in order to meet the intention of a particular lyric.” The Only You EP is a bold step forward for Katz, marrying measured production with clever pop hooks, underpinned by his signature composition style. A confluence of emotional, vignette-driven storytelling, and Katz’s keen ear for original arrangements and instrumentation, the project is tastefully enhanced Katz's background in jazz. Only You further cements Katz’s unique place as a true polymath, unencumbered by the limitations of genre and continuing to explore new terrains within the electronic pop scene both at home and abroad.
