Exploring the line between sound, music, and noise. Sacrificing rhythm and melody - removing preconceptions of the notion of music. Rhythm is inherent in the nature of our world: car engines, factories, machinery. They work on a constant rhythm. As does walking, running, swimming, breathing, our very heart beats. Rhythm is everywhere. It only exists because we recognize it. The same goes for melody. Like the concepts of love, of God, of Christmas Day, the significance is only there because we as a species attribute it. At what point can we no longer attribute the ideas of rhythm and melody to a piece of sound? Music is a combination of sounds and nothing else. It is our perception that makes it "music". Where is the line? To create songs in a different context, to be transgressive, subvert and askew expectations of musicality, and attempt to redefine the parameters of sound. To violate or outrage the basic sensibilities of musicality.

Performed as a conceptual meeting of artists, seeking to dissect the line between what is recognisable and what is not. Our preconceived notions of the world create informed opinions about what we experience within it - but how correct are these opinions? Is there a line between noise and music, or is this only there because we perceive it to be so? Where is the divide between dance and movement? Is the commonplace separate from art, or are these two pillars one in the same, feeding off and influencing one another? 'The Line' is a reorganisation of understanding, a new structure of suspended belief. Why do we see something only based on its context?

Movement by Emily Sterry & Bella Mason, in collaboration Maddie Armstrong, Gabriel Holton and Damien Meredith.
