John Nixon and Matt Hinkley: The Donkey's Tail

This exhibition is now closed

The Donkey's Tail 67 [9:30]; 68 [9:28]; 69 [5:09], 2007

The Donkey's Tail was first formed in early 2007 by Australian visual artist John Nixon as a recording project and can consist of up to five members for any given performance. The Donkey's Tail approach involves experiment and improvisation.

This is anti-music: members are unrestrained by traditional musical practices such as keeping time and structuring their songs around choruses and versus. These three tracks were created by Nixon and Matt Hinkley using a variety of musical instruments, both acoustic and electric.

Sound art in the bunker Take the time to listen to the Subsonic programme and engage in a new way of hearing 'noise'.
