Tone List presents: Jean-Philippe Gross (FR), Rich Wh, Morals and Ethics

Tone List presents a double bill of electro-acoustic experimental music buoyed by extended curiosity-piquing DJ sets by two of Boorloo’s finest. Throughout the event try having a yuzu soda or prosecco alongside handmade veggie samosas & vegan patra by Khanna (Means Food).

Jean-Philippe Gross is an electroacoustic musician based in France. He is a self-taught musician and an exceptional improviser on the no-input mixer (a mixing desk transformed into an instrument using feedback). Jean-Philippe’s music is marked by its compositional precision, decisiveness, and attention to the grain and texture of lengthy sustained drones. Jean-Philippe sustains collaborations with forward-thinking musicians globally including Clare Cooper, Jean-Luc Guionnet, and the orchestra ONCEIM. Contemplative, risky, frisson-inducing stuff.

Rich Wh is a local electronic musician working with a refined sound palette on modular synthesisers. In his music, chaotically interacting drones, pulses and crackles are sounded with a sense of veiled darkness. He performs and releases frequently in the orbit of Burnt Seed Records, NoizeMaschin!! and the Boorloo modular synthesis community.

Morals and Ethics are the emergent DJ collaboration between indie scene mainstays Jameson Feakes & Rhian Todhunter (the former a Tone List founding member, the latter of outgoing Out to Lunch fame). Collagistic, pan-genre deep-diving and joyous intrigue.
