Mahagonny

biography

​Mahagonny is an interdisciplinary project consisting of visual artist Lena Czerniawska and composer-performers Emilio Gordoa, Michael McNab & Josten Myburgh. Taking influence from a diversity of points of geographic & disciplinary origin, the project exists at the interstice between theatre, electro-acoustic composition, improvised music & installation, working with multi-screen projection, multi-channel sound, networking technology & instrumental performance across vibraphone, percussion & saxophone to draw out and extend the innate theatre of experimental music performance. The ensemble has performed and presented workshops throughout Australia, through Tura New Music, COMA, the Make It Up Club, Monash University, the Museum of Old and New Art, the Australian National University, SoundOut, the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and more.
