The artists:
Prudence Rees-Lee is a Naarm-based composer and spatial sound artist whose work explores the intersection of sound and utopian theory. Currently undertaking a practice-based PhD, her research delves into spatial sound technologies, feminist epistemologies, and psychoacoustics to develop a unique compositional language. Influenced by the Berlin School’s evolving sequences, late romantic harmonic richness, and the exploratory nature of early computer music, her live solo set creates immersive and expansive sonic experiences. Prudence is a member of the electroacoustic ensemble Golden Sands and one-half of the band Popular Music.
Serene Ailment is the long-running power electronics solo project of Naarm-based experimentalist and multi-instrumentalist Lulu Collard (@ashbelband, ex-@dubhessatheband). Her art over the last fifteen years focuses intensively on cerebral drones while conjuring up whirlwind states of cathartic holistic confusion through improvised atmospheres and sonic landscapes befitting of a nightmarish void, juxtaposed against an oceanic calm in a storm of relentless tension. An anxiety-laden omen of personal calm, degraded childhood memories, surreal ecstasy and the boarded-up splayed before you.
Lost Few is the audio-visual project of Dave Thomson, a musician and multi-sensory artist based in Naarm, Australia. His music showcases ambient techno, disturbed electronics, processed instrumentation and Sub-bass experiments. Likened to a more rhythmic “music to play in the dark”, with Lost Few’s own sharp, dissonant edge.
We acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, the continuing custodians of the land where this event takes place.
