2012
Part of Contemporary Site Investigations Flinders St


A project undertaken over 5 weeks in the old ClockTower of Flinders St Railway Station, Melbourne, featuring a wind-powered drawing instrument and a musical performance.

The improvisation pieces featured Cameron Robbins on visual art and clarinet, and Allan Browne on drums.

Drums were found in the building, relics from the Victorian Railways Marching band and an amplifier was set up for the Flinder Street Station clock mechanism.

Meanwhile, outdoors, the wind-powered drawing instrument produced works on paper from the site topography and changeable spring weather.
