“In this piece the audience is asked to place their head inside the sculpture in order to block the visual sense, and focus on the sense of hearing and smell. This project endeavours to produce an environment where the unique characteristics of scent perception are harnessed to communicate emotions and ideas. Through the combination of sound and smell the stimuli work to create a sense of relaxation and a vague dreamlike experience of unexpected meaning.
To Sleep
No full textScore for structured improvisation.
Created by Jeremy Mayall.
Brought to life in performance in collaboration with Kent Macpherson and Yotam Levy.
TO SLEEP is the second longest continuous piece of music to ever be performed anywhere (after Organ²/ASLSP (As SLow aS Possible by John Cage which is scheduled to last 639 years!). TO SLEEP is an experiment. It is an exploration of music’s capacity to induce meditative, otherworldly and perhaps even psychedelic states, through the process of a communal nights sleep. Drawing primary inspiration from reading about the ambient ‘happenings’ of Robert Rich in California in the 1980s - these were immersive all-night shows, performed to sleeping audiences, that stretched the definition of a ‘concert’ beyond all familiar limits. These much-mythologised happenings are part physical experience, part community intervention, part scientific experiment, part mystic ritual.
Macpherson and Mayall, along with cellist Yotam Levy will perform a synthesis of found sound, prepared drones, and live instrumental playing. The focus of the event is around everything being very slow. Anything resembling a melody might unfold over a half an hour or so. The concentration is really one of subtlety, slowness, extremely drawn out transitions, and exploring an unfolding sense of continuity. The intention with TO SLEEP is to explore the liminal zone between sleep and wakefulness. Creating a space where the audience can guide themselves into a state of half-sleep and notice the way that their brains shift perceptions into an internal world.
Through deconstructing the conventions of traditional compositional and performative approaches, TO SLEEP will explore the potential for dreamlike experiences between the hypnagogic and hypnopompic states - the technical words for when you’re going into sleep and out of sleep. This is a 9 hour long form musical composition within which different ideas, textures, fragments, themes and variations will be woven in what essentially becomes an endurance performance event! The performers work hard to make the audience feel relaxed, and allow themselves to become part of the immersive multimedia journey.
Mayall has composed a structural guide to shape the 9hour composition as built and developed by the performers
Glimpse - twenty-nine short preludes for piano, video and soundscape
No full textA multimedia composition.
Twenty-nine short preludes for piano, video and soundscape.
'Glimpse' is a new multi-media artwork incorporating live music, projected video, and soundscape created by filmmaker Dan Inglis and composer Dr. Jeremy Mayall. This innovative new piece combining experimental film concepts and contemporary art music blurs the line between conventional cinema and pure concert music.
The work is a suite of 29 individual but intertwined audio-visual vignettes. Film footage appropriated from The British Council (British Council New Zealand) Film Collection of short documentaries is reedited, reimagined, and recontextualised by Inglis and paired with original piano preludes and soundscapes by Mayall creating a wholly new performance work where the music informs the image, and the image informs the music.

We have been given a second chance to create the world of our Charter that they were denied. With the cold war ended we have drawn back from the brink of a confrontation that threatened the world, and, too often, paralysed our organisation
