Not just music to be listened to, but something to be experienced in live performance. Guest artists for this event included Bettina Crimmins (oboe), Oscar Garrido (bassoon), Ben Marks (trombone), Ysolt Clarke (horn), Ba Da Boom Percussion and the Queensland Conservatorium Trombone Ensemble.

One piece is excerpted here - Globokar's 1997 solo percussion work, Pensée écartelée. “Performing Globokar's work brilliantly was percussionist Vanessa Tomlinson, who in Pensée écartelée presented a performance that would have made Animal from the Muppet Show proud.” – Die Presse, Vienna.

Bill was a visiting scholar with Griffith University from June–August 2007 on a Fulbright Senior Specialist grant awarded for iOrpheus.

The project was based on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice and written for and with the Brisbane South Bank precinct. The performance was a 2.5 hour event, enacted as a series of encounters with the central moments of the Orpheus legend appearing and reappearing in various unexpected locales within the parklands. This public opera created guided moments where park visitors—using their everyday digital devices—could interact artistically with parallel worlds as they move through the events of their daily lives. The performers numbered in the hundreds and consisted of Conservatorium students, staff and citizens of Brisbane (children and adults).

multi-instrumentalists to search new grounds which arise spontaneously.
Using winds, strings and percussion, they extend upon modern, classical and
ethnic traditions to create new soundscapes that change throughout
performances. In this concert, Jose and John use their music to show that
it is possible to build islands with water. Compositionally, they will use
this event to distil their music through new horizons, to present a sample
of the rich heritage that can be found in our electro-acoustic future
