::Details::

::Mark Brown & Khaled Sabsabi::

Mark Brown is a Sydney-based sound, installation and photo media artist. Khaled Sabsabi is a Sydney sound designer and composer. Together they explore the poetic response to site & the phenomenology of space in acoustic atmospheres and contact with cultural zones. They collaborate to perform audio-visual soundscapes, combining sound sources from their own different backgrounds to create something like an aural impression of the planet from space.

::Gail Priest::

Gail Priest is a sound artist and composer based in Sydney. In the space between sound art and music, her moody, atmospheric explorations incorporate dirty machine-like rhythms and bass-heavy pulsations, contrasted with glassy cascades and occasional sweet slippery vocals. Deconstructed vocals, digital debris, beats, shifting aural textures and atmospheres.

::Sounds Of Homes::

Tegan Northwood and Shane Fahey present multichannel environmental soundscapes in surround sound, incorporating a selection of habitats and environments from the Kioloa/Murramurang area, on the south coast of NSW.

::Rob Hughes::

Is an honours student in music at the University of Wollogong. His practice consists of work as a composer of both audio and video material for theatre performances, a free imporvisor and electronic artist. For 1/4_inch Rob will present Feedback III - Space and Harmony. An exploration of shifting harmonies and movement in surround sound. Created entirely from pre-recorded audio the piece uses samples from a range of feedback loops arranged in real time.

::Emma Russack and Alec Marshall::

Positioned somewhere between the genres of pop, lofi and ambient rock Emma Russack and Alec Mashall present new work from their latest collaborative project. Beautiful haunting textures with a video backdrop.
