LINEUP
vegetable.machine.animal
A live conversation between plants, fungi, machines, and human musicians. What would it sound like if we could interact musically with plants and fungi—if humans stopped to listen and respond? vegetable.machine.animal is an interspecies improvisational trio exploring this question through a hybrid sonic language of biosignals, modular synthesis, and live drums. Led by drummer Kieran Monaghan, the project transforms living data from plants and fungi into voltage, translated into sound via modular synthesizer. Monaghan responds in real time, creating a feedback loop between human, organism, and machine.
Reuben Ingall
Witness an observance of domestic meditation. Embrace monotasking, patiently watch the pot boil. Symbolic actions create social cohesion and reinforce shared values. The ritual binds us, generates collective energy. Our supra-sensible connection forms a secret society. A chosen defrostonaut will take communion. Reuben is gonna cook a pie in a microwave for noise music.
Harland Rust
Aging outlaws Harland Rust (Liam Jamieson and Rosa Bassett) emerge from hiding, exuding noise mutations borne of swirling Kansas dust and sick fixation on “The Cat in the Hat” (2003). Motivated at first by the pressures of long-distance collaboration and the urgent need to rescue their nephew from wrongful execution, Harland Rust’s purview has inflated, exploring the dross of pop culture through samples forced to eat themselves, burnt purple slime, and fried electronics.
Sandy Ma
Sandy Ma is a multidisciplinary artist and educator living and working on unceded Ngunnawal & Ngambri Country. With a background in creative computing, Sandy intersects embodiment, sound, and performance to share moments of curious joy. As an educator, Sandy is eager to create inclusive interdisciplinary learning spaces to connect the wonders of creativity with audiences beyond art thinkers and makers.
Feemer
I make sounds with things (ideally relaxing). It feels more like collaged sound. I will frantically move about to make sure the different sounds sound good together. Once they are properly combined I may stop moving and celebrate. A guitar will be there. The combined sounds will be mushed together to form just one sound so that I can add more. Enjoy.
