  • Dale Gorfinkel

    Dale Gorfinkel has been engaging in site-attentive improvisation for over fifteen years. He carries a deep attention, playfulness and a captivating sense of flow across all of his performances, which usually are made on self-made instruments. His “Air Drums” use breath to vibrate large balloon membranes stretched over drums. These are amplified by microphones that swing like pendulums, creating phenomenal ripples of tone and sub-bass rumbles. Bunningscore meets profound attunement with place.



  • radio cegeste

    Musician, artist and poet radio cegeste (Sally Ann McIntyre) performs with radio silence, field recordings of extinct animals, static and interference to make intimate and extraordinary works that ruminate on loss, haunting and memory.

  • Jameson Feakes

    Jameson Feakes’ candid solo steel-string guitar performances fold the warmth of 70s English folk into a contemporary soundworld influenced by frontrunning experimental guitar practices, and the atmospheres and stories of this place. As impossible-to-pin-down as they are immediately beautiful.

  • Masonik

    Masonik is an Australian multi-disciplinary arts collective, who have performed nationally and internationally since 2006.

    Masonik’s work is an immersive experience fusing sound and visual arts. Drawing on electronica, dub, jazz, neo-classical and soundscapes with sculpture, photography, graphic design, theatre and layered video projections. Masonik has released more than 13 studio recordings, on vinyl, dvd, cd.
