Undecisive God (Clinton Green) has been a mainstay of Australian experimental music since the 1990s. Focused for many years upon new approaches to the electric guitar as a sound generation tool, Green’s current interest is in prepared turntables as dynamic generators of random sound and percussive patterns. He has released numerous recordings and has performed live around Australia, including in festivals such as Liquid Architecture, Melbourne International Jazz Festival, Melbourne Fringe Festival and Electrofringe.

Sean Baxter is an Australian improviser who has forged an international reputation as a bold explorer of percussive possibilities both as a soloist and through his work with the acclaimed avant garde trio, Pateras/Baxter/Brown. Focusing on the use of extended techniques applied to the conventional drumkit, he utilises an arsenal of metallic junk and other percussive detritus to expand the sonic palette of the percussion tradition.

Ernie Althoff, Australian musician, composer, instrument builder, and visual artist. He was involved in the Clifton Hill Community Music Centre during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Althoff is unique not only for the original textures and sonic elements he creates, often tempered with wry humour, but also for his practically continuous contribution to and participation in the Melbourne experimental music community for over three decades.

Em Vécue Aquieu (Sam Filmer) is a newcomer to the Melbourne experimental community. He creates an ambient, spiritual sound that builds an articulate spacial environment exploring experimentalism in classical structures. A persistent, lulling effect is translated, completely submersing everything in close proximity. Experiencing his live shows audiences become transfixed on the beauty and simplicity of his sounds.
