Ryosuke Kiyasu (Japan) 9:30pm
Pioneering snare-drum soloist who has redefined percussion since 2003. Alongside his viral 2018 Berlin set (23 million+ views. also featured by BBC News and VICE), he drums for noise-grind duo SETE STAR SEPT, the Kiyasu Orchestra, Keiji Haino's Fushitsusha, and co-founded Canada’s cult hardcore unit The Endless Blockade. From Überschlag—the world’s largest classical-percussion festival—to Finland’s Outsider Art Festival and Dr. Martens Fest, Kiyasu’s 2022-24 itinerary placed him on premier stages across Europe. His performance film at the 2023 Edinburgh Art Festival sparked art-world buzz, while a capsule line with Swedish label Our Legacy pushed his aesthetic into fashion. With 200-plus releases spanning solo work and band discographies, Kiyasu continues to tour globally, delivering a singular, high-impact blend of extreme dynamics, physicality, and avant-garde vision that has made the snare drum a headline instrument.
Lucas ‘Granpa’ Abela (Sydney) 8:45pm
(fka Justice Yeldham) has been performing their signature instrument—shards of amplified glass—for over 20 years. Their singular practice spawned from the international noise music underground, where the glass evolved from a means to create free-noise cacophonies into an oddly versatile instrument producing an organic form of outsider electronica. Abela performs the shards like a bell-less saxophone, their lips subtly transmitting micro-sonic vibrations into the pane. This signal feeds a complex modular patch producing both raw audio & control voltages, so the dynamics & frequency of their performance modulates itself within varying parallel effects chains. Mixed together they create the illusion of a ghostly accompaniment, forming dense layers of anomalous music.
Party Ov One (Newcastle) 8:15pm
Crawling from the nuclear wastelands after the collapse of the Soviet Union to the industrial swamplands of the Awabikal people- Mulubina, Party Ov One is the solo audio undertaking of multidisciplinary artist Liza Kaplan. Creating chaotic layered soundscapes mirroring her visual practice- replacing pen and ink with homemade modulating synths, violin, children’s instruments and vocals layering themselves into a pulsating entity eloping and seeping itself into every crevice of space creating cacophony of something between noise and music. For over a decade, Party Ov One has graced dimly lit warehouses, guerrilla DIY spaces, art galleries and all the usual spaces, delivering her unique, outsider interpretation of a world that has always felt distant—an auditory rebellion against the familiar.
Venue is BYO but please take all your garbage with you and dispose of it in the bins provided in the park.
Lucas will also be selling some of their old records some of which they have had since the 80's so if interested bring a tote bag.
