Number 21 in the resurrected series of improvised, experimental or just plain weird yet beautiful music nights. Still blending the acoustic with the electric, the subtle with the bombastic.

Act For Birds (Subespai/ Sebastian Sequoiah-Grayson)
https://subespai.bandcamp.com/music
https://sebastiansequoiah-grayson.bandcamp.com
Ambient noise created from the combination of Sebastian Sequoiah-Grayson's prepared guitars and Subespai's electro-acoustic manipulations. A duo in their second appearance together, Act for Birds plan to deliver emotional soundscapes both raw and considered. A performance for all types of birds, night owls, woodpeckers, and hummingbirds alike.

Andrew Tuttle
https://andrewtuttle.bandcamp.com/
A best-kept secret of the Australian underground. A composer, improviser and collaborator who has shared stages with Matmos, Julia Holter, Forest Swords, Steve Gunn, OM, Deradoorian and many others. Tuttle dwells in a between world of ambient and folk genre that feels like a community all of its own. Holding a space that is tropical, abundant and generous, Andrew Tuttle makes outsider music that turns its listeners into insiders — beckoning a journey inwards which unfolds many heart-opening moments along the way.

Kcin
https://kcinsound.bandcamp.com/
The new project of Australian drummer/producer Nicholas Meredith. His sound-world, although wet through with electronic and digital elements, draws significantly from the natural world: monolithic structures, human biology, water. Working with themes of uncertainty and environmental change.

LIVING SCIENCE Dept. (Colum Skeleton)
Projectionist extraordinaire for the legendary Scattered Order.

Matthew Syres
https://matthewsyres.bandcamp.com/
Founding member of Sydney groups Forenzics and Syntax Error, Matthew has an eccentric and unusual approach to the guitar, using multiple effects, delays and looping to build complex improvised sonic textures informed by noise, post-rock, industrial and soundscape music. Here he plays an optical theremin, open jack and contact mic to create subtle textured soundscape interludes between sets.
