Brassica

Brassica is Michael Anthony Wright, making decisions and music on his own, sometimes reluctantly, but always with interesting results. Working with found sounds, multiple instruments, and electronic technology, the music of Brassica suggests a clear love of the musicality of sound itself, and beyond this a sense of how to apply structure and (dis)order to these very sounds, in order to produce a compelling and emotional affect, often rare in this kind of music.

Gail Priest

Gail Priest is a Sydney-based sound artist, writer and curator. She is interested in releasing the hidden melodies and broken beats found in raw sonic material.

Her atmospheric adventures incorporate dirty machinic rhythms and bass-heavy pulsations contrasted with glassy cascades and occasional sweet slippery vocals.

Taylor Deupree

Technology and imperfection. The raw and the processed. Curator and curated. Solo explorer and gregarious collaborator. The life and work of Taylor Deupree are less a study in contradictions than a portrait of the multidisciplinary artist in a still-young century. Deupree is an accomplished sound artist whose recordings, rich with abstract atmospherics, have appeared on numerous record labels, and well as in site-specific installations at such institutions as the ICC (Tokyo, Japan) and the Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media (Yamaguchi, Japan).
