ABOUT SVITAK
Manipulated acoustic instruments, field recordings, tape loops and voice create a world shaped to vacillate gently between tranquility and hysteria.
Svitak is an interdisciplinary artist from the US, currently based in Naarm/Melbourne. Weaving densely textured sonic landscapes, her sound is characterised by sustained tension, drawing on a sense of loss, longing and nostalgia to create a distinctive and deeply haunting atmosphere.
Svitak is playing fresh off shows at MONA, New North and MIUC this year, and will be collaborating with guitarist Hugh Stuckey for this performance.

ABOUT FIA FIELL
Fia Fiell is the moniker of synthesist, pianist & composer Carolyn Schofield. Her tactile, intricate and improvisatory compositions for multiple keyboard synths derive from meditations on deep listening, growth and transcendence. Silk-gentle and immensely powerful, her sound worlds seem to spirit-forth from immaterial planes – bathing audiences in a nebulous melange of lush melodic cycles and spectral drones. Time and rhythm are approached as if elastic – like an organic membrane breathing and pulsating autonomically.
Her 2022 deep listening work for Longform Editions, ‘Endless Filament’, presents a dynamic approach to drone music through a constant flowing, unfurling and building of tones and subtle melodies; an approach that contrasts with the lo-fi improvisatory and cyclic melodic language of her debut album ‘All In The Same Room’ – described in Bandcamp’s Best Cassette Releases of 2018 as coming ‘awfully close to perfection’.
Fia Fiell's distinctive live performances have garnered her appearances at events for Berlin Atonal, Room40, Rising Festival, Resident Advisor and more, support slots for artists such as Merzbow, Laurel Halo, Loraine James and Rashad Becker, and large-scale commissions for Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio, the Australian Art Orchestra and more.
