Biographies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nRites Wild<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is a solo project of Stacey Wilson (Terrible Truths, Regional Curse) from South Australia. Her debut album \u2018Ways of Being\u2019 was released by Not Not Fun Records in 2012, following on from 3 self-released EPs.
\nRaised by her eccentric grandmother in an old Brunswick home similar to the Grey Gardens Mansion, Raquel Solier emerged from boxes of worn VHS tapes and empty milk cartons to become\u00a0Fatti Frances<\/a><\/strong>, experimental RnB artist. As a drummer for art punk bands\u00a0Jemima Jemima<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Oh! Belgium<\/strong>, indie bands\u00a0The Ancients<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Jessica Says<\/strong>, and even country outfit\u00a0Nathan Hollywood<\/strong>, Solier has strong roots in the Melbourne music scene. After relocating to Berlin with\u00a0Jemima Jemima<\/strong>\u00a0and touring Europe and Asia playing drums for\u00a0Jens Lekman<\/strong>, sharing stages with such luminaries as\u00a0Joanna Newsom<\/strong>,\u00a0A.I.R<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Sally Seltmann<\/strong>, Raquel took time off in Brooklyn. There she found the inspiration to take the plunge on an idea she\u2019d long toyed with, combining her love of chart topping RnB artists such as\u00a0Missy Elliott<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Aaliyah<\/strong>\u00a0with the dark, melodic songwriting of\u00a0Scott Walker<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Karen Carpenter<\/strong>. The result of the experience and the foundation of every live performance is a brutal concoction of synthesizer waves, wonky doom-like bass and most prominent of all; the assaulting RnB beats. Just when it couldn\u2019t appear to get any more intense, sexy, trance-like, loose or sweaty; out comes the smoke machine and lasers to heighten the senses and unhinge the diva within.
\nExploring ambient and unconventional sounds, there is something inherently intriguing about\u00a0Hollow Press<\/a><\/strong>. Beginning in early 2012, Adelaide\u2019s Shaun McNamara has been using drone, glitches, field recordings, voices, industrial sounds, and other such things to create his work. \u2018Fleeting Joy\u2019 and \u2018Between Us\u2019 were the first Hollow Press albums, both released digitally and on CD by US label Drug Arts. 2013\u2019s \u2018Heads In Dust\u2019 on Wood & Wire was followed up by Night Falls (on Phantasma Disques) and Your Nature (self-released) . Hollow Press continues his tradition of making interesting and original albums.
\nCycle~ 440<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is the semi-improvisational electro-acoustic duo of Sam Gillies and Kevin Penkin that fuses acoustic piano with extensive laptop sampling and processing to create alternating soundscapes of extreme fragility and overwhelming density. Sam Gillies and Kevin Penkin met while studying a Bachelor of Music at WAAPA. Cycle~ 440 was formed in 2009 when they sought to fuse Kevin\u2019s love of Japanese game and anime music and Sam\u2019s appreciation for the delicate ambient and extreme noise genre\u2019s. As Cycle~ 440 they maintain a national and international performance profile while releasing a steady stream of recordings \u2013 the conclusion to the \u2018structures\u2019 trilogy \u201cThe Topography of Ascending Frameworks\u201d was released in 2013, the sixth release by Cycle~ 440.<\/p>\n
