Ducklingmonster | The Village | Shehonk
Ducklingmonster revels in the forgotten, neglected and overlooked. Utilising a combination of scratched 45 records, broken beats emanating from a JVC boombox, field recordings of crashing oceans and footpaths, electronic and vocal textures laid into walls of sonics, she creates a "collage of damaged sounds that shine a light on lost passages of real time and space." Ducklingmonster (aka Beth Dawson) is an audio-visual artist from Tāmaki Makaurau. She investigates social sites through a range of practices with a focus on lively performance installations. Publicly, her work has predominantly been in experimental sound performance, most notably in the group The Futurians, and solo as Ducklingmonster. In 2024, she released the LP ‘I know…… a… way” on AudioFoundation Records.

The Village are Beth, Jess, Liz, and Shiraz. Double diva vocals, synths, guitar, bass, and the garbled transmissions of a bejewelled castle sound box. The village folk take a ramble in the bramble, uncovering thorny futures in the sonic hedgerows.
