.
Travelling from New Zealand is the Lower Bar Collective who specialise in atmospheric soundscapes that blend with projected images and reflective prose. They will be joined by Blue Mountains noise/experimental artist and improviser James Heighway to reprise their acclaimed performances at MONA (Tas).
.
The Lonely Shore is a core collective of guitarists spearheaded by Sean Daly (Antiskeptic) and based in Victoria's Yarra Ranges, revolving around instrumental and experimental music made solely with, as they put it, 'guitars, lots of effects pedals and imagination'.
.
Founding member of the MDO Piers Morgan presents his iteration of the ensember as 'MDO-Chamber Music'. This is the MDO as you know it and the complete opposite at the same time, featuring some of the longest serving and more recent additions to the collective performing an iteration of drone that contrasts with the reputation for aural power.
.
No Man's Land is a duo consisting of Pippa Bainbridge and Swiss Kalken. Based in Ballarat, their work is heavily rooted in improvisation to create atmospheric drone and audioscapes. The pair, who both come from rich backgrounds in the music and arts industry, have a great deal of chemistry and are clearly attune to one another, helping them create some memorable live sets on the spot.

Future editions of the Norla Drone series are being planned and all expressions of interest are welcome. Contact via DM or [email protected]
