Defektro
Characterised by their harsh machine produced junk metal sounds Defektro have been performing together for over ten years. Formed in Tokyo, Japan, Defektro is a 3 human, many machine noise unit. The units original members Hirofumi Uchino and Ayako Honda crashed onto the noise scene in Tokyo in 1995. In 2001 they were joined by Laura Griffiths (of Australian unit Kunt) to make the present day unit Defektro. Hirofumi Uchino, a futuristic Dr Frankenstien, is the evil mastermind and father of the machines used in Defektro. The sound is produced by the machines, sampled, effected chewed up and spat out to the pleasure of the audience.

The Rorschach Climax Ensemble is somewhat the brainchild of guitarist Mark Hall, as in he realised he should really get out into the public sphere in some magnitude rather than focusing on the more interesting and important task of recording ideas and exploring concepts if he is ever to get his label moving into a slow, painful hobble one day which almost breaks even (one can dream)- it's all about image, they wax poetic

Joining him is a cabal of truly lost and happy about it souls: Leon on drums - stand up comedian/ radio DJ/ swim coach and drum extroidinare. Dirk - free living, sandle wearing artist/ guitarist/ bass player; also seen around the traps in Forenzics and On the Stoop - Occasionally Ken Wangdong - financial wizard/ sax/ keys/ Melodica freak, and Samual - he's from Queensland and he has a way with words- talk about waxing poetic! on Saxomophone.

Yvette Ten-Bohmer
A celebration of human existence.
I explore the figure considering angles, motions, shadows, weight, line and anatomy. I pursue the limbs of the human form with distortion to allude to the energy and action rather than the true realism of the pose.
Capturing and expressing human life with gestural marks created by observation using feeling derived by visual sensation; enables a raw expressive mark entwining and forming into the figure.
Thus I pursue and celebrate the beauty of the human form all the while capturing our emotions that is conveyed through the lyrical motions throughout the body.

Seduna makes what she feels, drawing inspiration from a variety of different genres and melding them together to suit her mood. Whether its sombre electronica or lo-fi beats, her music is contemplative and always takes you on a journey.
Seduna will be playing some new unreleased music as well as her usual vibey beats she sources completely from underground producers.

Juan Alderete de la Peña has been playing bass for over thirty years and has become one of the most well-respected players in the industry.

In 1985, Juan met renowned guitarist Paul Gilbert and the two started the ground-breaking metal outfit, Racer X. Post-Racer X, Juan formed another Los-Angeles-based rock band, The Scream. In 2003 Juan became a permanent member of Mars Violta and went on to record The Their landmark second album, Frances the Mute (Universal). It was this album that inspired Bass Player Magazine’s editors to put Juan on the cover of their March, 2005 issue. The band released a live album and two studio albums in the next three years, including the critically acclaimed 2008 album The Bedlam in Goliath, featuring the track, Wax Simulacra, for which the band won the Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance in 2009. Later that year, the band signed to Warner Brothers Records and released their fifth studio album, Octahedron. In addition to his work with The Mars Volta, Juan frequently contributed to Rodriguez Lopez’s countless solo releases and toured extensively with the Omar Rodriguez Lopez Group.

As a solo artist, Juan initiated a project called Vato Negro in 1999 and the group released its debut album, Bumpers (N2O Records), in 2008. In 2013 Juan rejoined Cedric Bixler Zavala in to form the band Zavalaz. Juan is currently touring with alternative hip hop supergroup Deltron 3030, composed of producer Dan the Automator, rapper Del the Funky Homosapien (known as Deltron Osiris/Deltron Zero for the album), and Kid Koala.

Juan spends his free time scouring the internet to feed his addiction to stomp pedals.

Robbie Avenaim
If you don't already know of drummer Robbie Avenaim from PHLEGM, WOG, Oren Ambarchi, worked with John Zorn, Mike Patton, well then you should. He is also known as the organiser of the renowned WHATISMUSIC? Festival. Robbie will perform his latest invention of motorised percussive mechanisms on the drums, namely SARPS (Semi Automated Robotic Percussion System) . This motorised device is apparently capable of playing in excess of 4500bpm..Yikes!.
"His performances see the drums played in extreme rhythmical and textural ways, not heard before to the naked ear .. pushing the drums to there limit"

Alon Ilsar is a drummer, composer, sound designer and instrument designer currently designing a new interface for electronic percussionists called the AirSticks, using the instrument in projects such as The Sticks, Silent Spring, Malarkey, Kirin J Callinan and Brian Campeau. He has also been heavily involved in theatre and film as drummer, composer and sound designer. His diverse projects include Darth Vegas, The Tango Saloon, Circus Monoxide, Zohar’s Nigun, Aronas, Keating! the Musical, Eddie Perfect, Meow Meow, Tim Minchin, Captain Kirkwood, The Colors Tribute Band, Gauche and Trigger Happy. Most recently he underscored the STC production of Mojo on solo drum kit.

Axis Trio: a formulation of Sydney sonic explorers. Consisting of Shane Fahey (Scattered Order, Makers of the Dead Travel Fast), Pete Jones (Triangle, Psychic Date) and Aemon Webb (Nhomea, Planktan Sanquin), the group strives for a celestial sound with depths in doom metal and Australian free noise music. The trio performs improvised sets with synthesiser, guitar and drums.

Axis Trio provides the opportunity for a supergroup of well- accomplished individuals. Shane Fahey has collaborated with Merzbow, Julian Knowles, Rik Rue, Azeruz, Linda Wallace. Pete Jones has collaborated with Matt Finish, Chris Townend, John Murphy, and has toured with Feedtime and Mr. Bungle.

Matthew Syres, veteran of the Sydney music scene and founding member of improvised experimental quartet Forenzics, approaches the guitar more as a sound creation device than a traditional musical instrument, using effects, delays and looping to build complex improvised sonic textures informed by noise, post-rock, industrial and soundscape music.
