“Impulse Response” was a 4-hour immersive installation where ceramics, sound, and video converged in a live, elemental dialogue. Master ceramicist Neville Assad-Salha commanded the wheel, shaping large clay forms that grounded the performance, while sound artists Mx Robert Frost and Panos Couros (Atunement) and video artist Liam Somerville (CAPITAL WASTE) amplified the experience. Contact and condenser microphones captured resonances from clay and airborne sounds, crafting an improvised soundscape that responded to the live clay-making process. Video projections intensified these impulses, merging sound, vision, and material into a powerful sensory experience. Audiences roamed freely, enjoyed the bar, and supported Beirut crisis relief through donations. The event was also live-streamed at 7:30 pm Adelaide time (ACDT) on Thursday, 5th December, 2024.
