Returning to Naarm/Melbourne for the first time since 2022, experience Dots+Loops 3X3 — a night of post-genre sounds that complements / contrasts / contradicts. Not your standard three-course meal, this tasty triple-triptych pairs together three acts who know no bounds, each presenting three works that span the breadth of their artistic practices.+ • + • + • + • + • + • + • + • + • + • +

Basel-based duo iipm project, the creation of Phoebe Bognár (AUS) and Mikołaj Rytowski (PL), take everything you know about flute and percussion, turn that on its head, and dive headlong into Uncanny Valley for unbounded performative post-instrumental exploration. They present the Australian premiere of "Figures & Fixtures", exploring their multifaceted identities through commissions for and created in collaboration with the duo. Anna Sowa's "Lubricant" creates a distinctive, hypnotic dialogue between flute and percussion that’s sonorous and trance-like. Elizabeth Jigalin’s "EARBUDS" sees Phoebe and Miko playfully delve into a sandpit of sonic delights. These two works are brought together with "tremors II", a new work collaboratively created by the duo.
Magandjin/Brisbane-based guitarist Libby Myers wields sounds subtle, soulful and searing, and conjures a spellbinding exploration of the intricacies of modern life and our relationships with technology. Leila Harris’ "Host" takes a haunting, ritualistic, séance-like look at video conferencing technologies. In "A Woodland Requiem", MJ O’Neil looks at her and Libby’s shared Irish heritage in the wake of shared loss in an attempt to simply commemorate the pride, love, pain, grief, and joy of a shared history. Samuel Carrick [New Resource] combines 90’s internet Utopianism and corrupting AI-bot-filled spaces in "GUI" (Game User Interface, or God Under the Influence), envisioning vibrant digital gardens of social cross-pollination, reckoning with the parallel collapsing of natural ecosystems and social media.
Between it all, Airport (aka Kieran Welch) spins three servings of tantalising tunes, with amuse-bouche (pre-show), palate cleanser (interval), and dessert (post-show) DJ sets to bring the whole night together.

ACCESSIBILITY
Tempo Rubato is fully wheelchair accessible. There are no stairs and a fully accessible, gender-neutral bathroom. There is an upward incline in front of our front doors. The slope is fine for motorised chairs but assistance is a good idea for manual chairs. The entry is in direct sight for the bartenders and if you give them a wave, they will come and help you.
