This edition features sets from:

Jason Kahn

Born 1960 in New York, Jason Kahn is a artist, musician and writer. He lives and works in Zürich. His work with electronics involves chaotic feedback systems and placing his body in the circuit flow. Grabbing open leads with the hands makes and breaks circuits, causing the synthesizer to overload or momentarily collapse. Various contact microphones, electromagnetic inductors and the synthesizer's own output via a mixing board are used to modulate the parameters of the synthesizer. This results in a very dynamic system, often difficult to control, but allowing great expressivity—much like any acoustic instrument, but electronic.

Live radio captures during the concert and recordings made beforehand in the performance space and its environs provide further working material for each concert. In the end, these performances are essentially site-specific works, improvising with the space at hand, both in the sense of its physicality and the sounds found there. Every performance is different, not only because the music is improvised but also because the source material used pertains directly to each space being played in.

Paul Khimasia Morgan

An improvising musician, recording engineer and visual artist. As well as being a third of Bee Reiki Trio with Faradena Afifi and Steve Beresford, he has worked creatively with Blanca Regina, Richard Sanderson, Jason Kahn, Charlotte Keefe, Cristiàn Alvear, Klaus Janek, Ryu Hankil, Simon Whetham, and Gus Garside; is a participant in the groups TIDES (with Paul May, Peter Marsh and Daniel Spicer) and Mark Wastell's THE SEEN.

“…feedback-like tones rising carefully amid a cloud of metal thorns…more physicality than most you hear, which gives the performance some nice faux visual weight…” – Byron Coley in The Wire magazine.

Joy Boole

Drawing from my classical training, I incorporate elements from this genre and into my compositions, whilst also pushing the boundaries by incorporating electronic elements and experimental techniques. The combination of the clarinet and Aerophone with live electronic processing allows me to create a unique and immersive sonic experience for my audiences.

In my performances, I aim to create a sense of beauty and transcendence, transporting listeners to a different realm. By blending the warmth of the clarinet, and the electronic sounds from the Aerophone, along with the limitless possibilities of electronic processing, I seek to create a sonic landscape that is both familiar and alien to my audience.

Overall, my music is a reflection of my diverse musical background and influences, blending classical tradition with modern technology to create a truly unique and immersive listening experience.

Tiresias 2.0, an Opera by Dominic Matthews

The year is 400,000 AD. Mankind has long since been eradicated from the Earth due to their persistent negligence of their environment. The last being on Earth is a cyborg variant of Tiresias, repeating a continuous message warning any future space farers away from the desolate planet. A seedling starts to grow in the rubble that awakens the human from within the machine. Tiresias is faced with a conundrum: should the plant be allowed to grow and eventually support a life that will ultimately destroy it again, or should the next generation be allowed to make the choice?

Dominic Matthews is a multi-disciplinary, cross genre composer. His works have been performed in Europe and the US by dance companies, rock groups and even a national Accordion icon! (guess).Dominic is currently working putting together a small Australian tour of Tiresias 2.0, whilst also working on his debut concept album 'Resonances', an experimental, world music, prog exploration of humanities musical beginnings.
