James Hazel is a multidisciplinary composer, (somtimes artist), educator, and researcher working on the unceded Gadigal Lands of the Eora Nation.

James’s sonic praxis seeks to (en)sound authentic working and under-class experiences across (sub)urbanities, geographies, (para)economies and ecologies. 

By drawing on Brandon Labelle's concept of "poor acoustics," and the politics of failure, Hazel’s work investigates what it means to listen, love, live, and labour in a world that is increasingly characterised by economic instability, automation,  and social inequality.

Join us to witness two extraordinary works by prolific artists Vicki Van Hout and Martin Del Amo, revived and reimagined in collaboration with a next generation of artists. Showing Thursday 25 May - Saturday 27 May at PACT Centre for Emerging Artists.

Featuring The Changelings, Frank Dwyer, and Jacqui O'Reilly, RE:SOUND will transport you from our iconic Erskineville warehouse space to a world of electrifying, warping and resonating audio-visual experiences.
