Ela’s remarkable debut album mixed acappella, drone and tape loops, and subsequent work added dark synths, found sounds and drum machines into the mix. Her love of bare vocals and layered harmonies has also ensured that the craft of songwriting is central to her practice.

Hosted by Stu Buchanan, Out From Under dives deep beneath the surface of the Australian music scene, celebrating experimental and eclectic music from the far end of the world.

The Foldable Sounds Collective presents Foldable Soundbath. The collective formed during the April 2020 lockdown and is composed of three artists: Daniela Maria Geraci, Lucy Rose Cunningham and Isabelle Pead. Individually dealing with sound as an archival, performative and narrational tool, collectively they interrogate sound’s potential to sonically transport the imagination outside one’s four walls, drawing on a global need for freedom of movement.

This third episode features four artists who took part in a research residency at GMEA (Albi, France) as part of the Tekhnē, initiated in 2023:

• Gauthier Deplaude in an informal discussion with Benjamin Maumus about his project Horloges etc.. This work uses two quartz clocks and their electrical environment as the sole sound sources, within a unique technical setup created by the artist, without effects or attempts at control.

• Rodolphe Bourotte tested his latest music production software, COMMA, during his residency. He engages in an informal discussion about his program and insights from his residency week.

• Yann Leguay shares an anecdote about one of his early projects, Dead Media, which centered on reversing the recording process in a vinyl pressing factory in France that has since closed. He reflects on the notions of trace, media, and collective memory.

• Abigail Toll presents Where Words Fail: World Building With Data, Sound, and Co-creation, a sound and interdisciplinary visual study that explores algorithmic herd behaviour in nature and its connections to surveillance practices.

Bi-monthly insights into the activities of the European project tekhnē, which started in 2023. The series showcases a selection of artists who share and discuss their work and listen to recorded material. By putting the focus on the user rather than the developer, this project aims to explore the emancipatory potential of technology in music and sound art. Technology as an art of craft, appropriating and transforming existing tools, to imagine multiple ways of creative misuse. tekhnē is a collaborative project, co-funded by the European Union.
