Chloë Sobek is a composer-performer based in Naarm, Australia. Her work is currently centred on the development of a post-anthropocentric sonic practice that encompasses a diversity of enquiry from acoustemology through to noise music. She is invested in what creative practice can do to deconstruct and reshape the way we conceptualise our collective futures.
Chloë’s practice is built around the Renaissance precursor to the double bass, the violone. Her creative process couples maximalist and musique concrète sensibilities such as audio-montage and electronic processing, with a handling of sound as a senate object, unlinked and undefined by its source.

Aviva Endean is a composer, sound artist and clarinetist based in Naarm (Melbourne). Her practice focuses on creating spaces for a deep engagement with sound, with the hope that attentive listening can connect people with each other and their environment. Aviva uses her mastery of the bass clarinet and an eagerness to extend and develop its potential to uncover new sounds and musical possibilities for the instrument, often working with instrumental modifications, extensions and lo-fi electronics. Described as ‘captivating’, ‘sophisticated’, & ‘trance-inducing’, Aviva has performed and presented her work worldwide, and has released solo albums on SOFA (Norway) and Room40 (Australia). Aviva is also active as a curator, performance maker and composer for dance and theatre, crafting new and unusual contexts for listening to the work of her peers and within her community.
