Lisa Lerkenfeldt:
Lisa Lerkenfeldt (https://soundcloud.com/lisa-lerkenfeldt) is an artist, musician and producer based in Melbourne, Australia. Working at the intersection of experimental music and performance, her ambient electronics consider intimacy, technology and noise. Lisa's album Glass Braid (https://lisalerkenfeldt.bandcamp.com/album/glass-braid) on imprint Vienna Press (May 2017), considers beauty and cruelty in the treatment of tapes, electronics, percussion and field recordings made at a decommissioned psychiatric unit. Recent collaborations with poet Autumn Royal and artist Felicia Atkinson sit between the club and the gallery, while as noise duo Perfume (https://soundcloud.com/perfume666) she is behind the post-industrial dance rhythms and atmospheric electronics for a new world.
Ross Manning:
Ross Manning works across visual art and sound making often combining the two fields. His live performances employ built electro- mechanical, self-playing instruments that create thick nests of rhythm and texture. Recently Ross' music has been releasedby Greedy Ventilator, Vitrine, Moremars and room40.
