The artists:
Null Hypothesis & Pathological Function (duo)
null hypothesis is a SERIOUS artist, weaving kaleidoscopic rants of odd time signatures and deep dive sound design... with gabber kicks and donks. Notable performances include Bangface, Breakcore Gives Me Wood, Fuk the Borders and Soft Centre.
pathological function works with ambient industrial sounds and is bringing a keytar.
Ciarán Geoghegan
Ciarán Geoghegan performs under his own name for the first time in several years, stepping out of the shadows of their more darker/extreme sound projects to present a set of ambient drone electronic excursions!
ansel (Canberra)
ansel’s works embodies free improv and noise. she likes glitch. she likes to sample ordinary objects such as door squeaks and washing machines, exploring the subtle interplay of ‘found’ sounds and ‘musical’ sounds’. connotations are obscured or lost, ‘non-musical’ sounds are recontextualised. her work calls into question any distinction between the musical and non-musical. there are no limits to what counts as improv. be ready for a performance where noise and instrument fuse seamlessly into one.
We acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, the true owners and custodians of the land where this event takes place. Always was. Always will be.
