about

You Will Never Travel, composed for the first episode of 'A Thousand Channels' as part of the Colomboscope Interdisciplinary Arts Festival, responds to the Australian government’s racist use of horoscopes to deter Sri Lankan immigration to Australia. The horoscopes were part of a $15M+ AUD ad campaign that lasted over successive governments, targeting South and Central Asian and Middle Eastern migrant communities. The composition is programmed in the SuperCollider audio synthesis language and centres around generic ‘Major’, ‘Indian’ and ‘Hindu’ scales included in the language to produce combination and difference tones, as psychoacoustic affects, further derived from set frequencies based upon the “sacred sound scale”. The title derives from personal experience. As a young Sri Lankan-Australian growing up in Melbourne, Australia, many years ago now, I received an impromptu palm reading. The psychic, a white Australian, took one look at my palms and announced: “you will never travel.”

A Thousand Channels is a project by Syma Tariq in collaboration with Francesca Savoldi, Natasha Ginwala and Anushka Rajendran.
