∆ Justice Yeldham (Australia)
Lucas ‘Granpa’ Abela has been performing their signature instrument; shards of amplified glass for over 20 years. Their singular practice spawned from the international noise music underground, where the glass evolved from a means to create free-noise cacophonies into an oddly versatile instrument producing an organic form of outsider electronica. Abela performs the shards like a bell-less saxophone, their lips subtly transmitting micro-sonic vibrations into the pane. This signal feeds a complex modular patch producing both raw audio & control voltages, so the dynamics & frequency of their performance modulates itself within varying parallel effects chains. Mixed together they create the illusion of a ghostly accompaniment, forming dense layers of anomalous music.

Copies of their limited-edition collaborative 7” with Zach Hill (Death Grips) will be available at shows for a discounted price of $10. For the single Never (and forthcoming album), fuses Zach Hill’s frenetic dynamics onto Lucas Abela’s textural glass noise by generating rhythmical control voltages from Zach performance to interpolate their sounds. Each strike creates an envelope replicating its attack decay sustain & release that are used to move parameters within a complex patch, synchronising changes within various parallel effects chains to the drums, causing Abela’s sustained textural glass signal to be rhythmically torn apart by Zach’s drumming.

∆ Instinct Control
Instinct Control is a project of Ryan ⊥ Dunn primarily utilizing the unintended, soul-salvage of planned obsolescence through direct physical contact with the circuitry of tape players. Instinct Control considers instrumentality, expectations and the musician’s gesture—resisting the implied philosophies of settings, knobs, planned instruments, reveling in chance and dialogue, performing sound with an object that is fickle to changes in environment and performer.
