About the Artists
A contemporary experimental sound project for young people, Noise Scavengers are now part of an ambitious interabilities sound project called CLICK CLACK that brings together professional musicians, young people and people with disabilities to create live performances of experimental sound and music.
Noise Scavengers emerged from a youth sound project at Cloverdale Community Centre in 2008. Since then Noise Scavengers have recorded three CDs and performed The Desert at Geelong’s Valley Mill, Monuments at Footscray Community Arts Centre and The Mountain at 45downstairs with the Bolt Ensemble and the Amplified Elephants, as well as at a Regional Arts Victoria conference and City of Greater Geelong Arts Grants Presentation ceremony.
Noise Scavengers work with techniques and ideas that exist outside mainstream music practices and combine traditional music instruments with technology. For the young members of Noise Scavengers the project provides opportunities to develop their musical and sound recording skills and the confidence to perform alongside professional musicians in a contemporary music setting.
