From Aotearoa New Zealand:
vegetable.machine.animal (vma), is an interspecies improvisational trio from Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand. Led by drummer Kieran Monaghan [he/him], vma transforms the electrical signals of living plants and fungi into sound, fusing modular synths and live percussion in performances that are spontaneous, rhythmic, and unpredictable.
This is music as a living system — a real-time collaboration where non-human organisms shape the sonic outcome alongside human performers. No two sets are the same.
A Visiting Scholar at Te Kōkī / New Zealand School of Music, Monaghan brings decades of experience across punk, free jazz, and experimental scenes, with vma performing at festivals, residencies, and venues across Aotearoa and internationally.
From Wadawurrung Land / Geelong:
DIADROME - post rock from the local neck of the woods. Expect a mix of angular bits, heavy & melodic bits, driven by thumping bass bits - a world where dissonant guitar and energetic drums create soundscapes inspired by Swans, The Birthday Party & Pink Floyd. Phew!
