pursuit performance

Originally a project from Jon Rose, PURSUIT took place on February 14th 2009 at The Performance Space Sydney and featured a veritable chamber orchestra of mobile, bicycle-powered acoustic musical instruments combined with the latest wireless transmission technology. The sound of bicycles singing.
