New Mountain is a poetic three-channel live video work by Rachel Peachey and Paul Mosig, performed in real-time across four chapters, each in collaboration with some of Australia’s most accomplished sound artists.
The work considers our place in complex ecologies, through movement-based mediative practice and the exploration of various landscapes, amidst threads of deep time. A captivating live soundtrack from Gail Priest, Chris Caines, Benjamin Ward and Tilman Robinson shifts from deep atmospheric echoes of the cosmos, through haunting resonant reflections of the landscape, to the dense electrical chaos of the machine age.
The structure of New Mountain draws on the history of expanded cinema, with the multi-channel presentation allowing the audience to drift between cinematic visual moments that map physical and emotional terrain.

Peachey & Mosig live and work in Canberra on Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country. They use field studies and play to research their ongoing interest in human/environment relationships, which they try and understand from a range of perspectives. Their process is centred around collaboration, often working with practitioners from a range of other disciplines, using movement, photography, video, sound, sculpture and textiles to document and respond to particular landscapes. Their work celebrates notions of mystery and wonder, the poetic relationship between science and philosophy and the meeting of the rational with the intuitive.
