tiffaney bishop COLLECTIVE (tbC) is an artist run initiative based in Belgrave, Australia, that offers young people a studio environment to locate their arts practice in and to launch creative careers from. tbC artists facilitate collaborative and participatory arts making through aesthetic, interactive and game concepts.
Random Methodologies, 2014 is inspired by young tbC member Damien McIntyre's ability to see numbers in colour (synaesthesia). For Damien the number 1 is black, 2 is yellow, 3 is green, 4 is blue, 5 is red and 6 is pink. The artists at tbC found this number-colour sense fascinating and the many discussions that followed led to a range of artistic ideas, actions and outcomes.
Random Methodologies, Dice Soundscape 2014 is one of these works and is a collaboration between tiffaney bishop COLLECTIVE and sound artist Roderick Price. The roll of a dice directs the making of the work, which is composed of randomly selected, activated and deactivated sounds made and collected by tbC and Roderick Price. Each sound is programed into a midi player and attributed a number from 1-6. The piece evolves as the dice rolls and takes on an organic and unpredictable trajectory. Each work is unique, original and yet programmed. Whilst guided, no two works can ever be the same due to the randomness of the numbers rolled by the dice.

AMNION is the brainchild of Roderick Price and is the vehicle for his dark, brooding style of electronic music and sound design work.
