They have released three albums together (Hype, Bad Lover and Alive at Loft) and have toured throughout Europe and Australia, including performing at the 2016 Wangaratta Festival […]

Kastoms is a new iteration of Taloi Havini’s Answer to the Call, an immersive twenty-two speaker installation, composed in dialogue with contemporary arts practice, scientific investigation and customary wisdom.

A “whimsical and free” solo performance for double bass and voice. Helen Svoboda is a double bassist, vocalist and composer. In the words of the ABC Music Show’s Andrew Ford, she is “a musician who absolutely defies categorisation”. Her work explores the melodic potential of the contemporary double bass, intricately weaving extended techniques and overtones with vocal tessitura to explore themes of sonic unity amidst abstract songwriting. Her performance practice emits a childlike, quirky energy, with a flair for “allowing difficult ideas to sound whimsical and free”, according to vocalist Kristin Berardi. For this performance, she presents a series of […]

Tom Avgenicos presents Ghosts Between Streams, an ode to nature via a rich tapestry of sounds, with Delay 45.

It blends chamber music, contemporary jazz and electronics to explore the power struggle between nature and urbanisation.
