The members of Viola Dana have all enjoyed years of involvement in Perth's music scene....and in a wide variety of genres...both as performers and composers/arrangers. To give you a taste of some of their recent exploits:
Pete Guazzelli's latest project, ghost drums, is a solo loop project which incorporates live drums and sound manipulation. As part of the 2009 Perth International Arts Festival, Pete was part of Thin Ice’s Antigone, which incorporated a band as part of the stage production, featuring the works of Rachel Dease.
Recently Mace Francis was a finalist in the MCA Freedman Fellowship held at the Sydney Opera House. 2010 saw the Mace Francis Orchestra celebrate its 5 year anniversary and embark on a national tour. Mace has recently co-founded a new record label/new music publisher 'Listen/Hear Collective'.
In addition to Tristen Parr's part in local contemporary acts Schvendes and Fall Electric, he has been involved in writing and performing music for dance, film, theatre and performance art. Recent composition and performance engagements include Get Yourself Some Art (dance) and Gertrude The Cry at the Blue Room and Deathtrap (theatre) at PICA.
In October 2011 Kathy Corecig's new piece for solo viola, Degustation: seven courses for solo viola, will be published and available for purchase on her website at www.corecig.com. Earlier in 2011, Katherine conducted the premiere performance of her Passacaglia, a companion piece for Kirsten Lepore's short film 'Bottle'.
