CAPE WICKHAM
Cape Wickham is at the north end of King Island between Tasmania and the Australian mainland, it is a remote spot and on the day we visited, we had it to ourselves. The coast is rough and the lighthouse spectacular, it is also the burial place for many a sailor wrecked on this coastline many years ago. A fascinating spot.

WELCOME TO KING ISLAND
HERMITAGE #1. King Island - Part 1/2
Composed and Performed by Ekrem Mülayim
Currie Harbour Lighthouse, King Island, Tasmania
October 19 - November 3, 2013
--- --- ---
Hermitage is an endurance piece performed from sunrise till sunset at a remote location and in seclusion over the course of 15 days. Each day is recorded and filmed in its entirety. Just like in an orchestral piece where each instrument is assigned a part and together they form a symphony, in Hermitage each day becomes a part that forms a whole daylong piece when mixed at the end.
The main aim of this project is to practice, explore and document the act of performing, continuously, during long uninterrupted blocks of time, over successive days. The boundary between performance and ritual, between living and performing will be blurred. The strenuous demand of the piece will push the performer to unusual terrains that could otherwise be left uncharted. When presented as an installation or as a documentary, Hermitage will also demand an unusual type of engagement from the audience.
It is not a coincidence that the Hermit character is an archetype. We all, at one time or another in our lives, seek solitude and retreat to find answers. Hermit's journey is one that we all wish to take with varying intensities of desire, as we know there are things to discover, important things, in solitude and reclusion.
Hermitage started out from this inner knowing.
I see music, at its core, as a series of decisions that involve sound and silence. I wanted to create a situation where a performer is left alone to explore this. Isolated solitude is widely practiced among most faiths and philosophies by those who wish to attain knowledge beyond arm's reach. Soon, it was evident to me that Hermitage had to be an endurance piece, performed for an extended duration of time. Within the extremes of isolation and endurance, I believe, lie intriguing findings; musically and otherwise.
So, Hermitage aims to practice and explore the act of performing in extreme circumstances. The performer is pushed to a realm far removed from the norm by having to perform from sunrise till sunset, continuously, for days on end. Performing, filming and recording this journey in its entirety blurs the lines between living and performing as well as between performance and ritual. Every gesture of the performer becomes significant as it potentially causes sound, or silence...
The performer is limited in space, impeded in his movement and is isolated. As a composer and as the performer, I am interested in the points where these limitations and impediments transform into opportunities of creative discovery.
