Alice Hui-Sheng Chang (Taiwan) and Nigel Brown (Australia) create sound in performance and recordings as 12 dog cycle. They pair the breathing limitations of human voice and piano accordion, extending the voice through extreme unconventional technique and the accordion’s acoustic properties through preparations, extended techniques and live electronic manipulation.

Sean Baxter is an Australian improvising musician interested in extreme music forms. He focuses on the use of extended techniques applied to the conventional drum kit, utilising an arsenal of metallic junk and other percussive detritus. 

Decibel is a new music ensemble based in Perth, Western Australia devoted to the nexus of acoustic and electronic instruments. The group was formed out of a desire to perform a range of music where electronic and acoustic instruments feature side by side and is dedicated to Australian music and emerging Western Australian composers.

Snawklor grew out of a long running collaboration between Nathan Gray and Dylan Martorell, beginning as a duo that made electro-acoustic work in galleries. Over a decade of experimentation and adjustment - from delicate sound installation to lap top skiddery to synth and guitar noise - over the last year Snawklor took a step in a new direction with the addition of Duncan Blachford on live drums.  [photo © Ben Butcher]
