vegetable.machine.animal is an interspecies improvisational trio pioneering a hybrid sonic language of biosignals, modular synthesis, and live drums. Led by drummer Kieran Monaghan, the project transforms living data from plants and fungi into voltage, translated into sound via modular synthesizer. Monaghan responds in real time, creating a feedback loop between human, organism, and machine.

Tondo is a duo formed of experimental guitarist/visual artist Gemma Thompson (Savages) and drummer Sam Sherry (A Dead Forest Index). Their music is inspired by concepts of visual scores/mark-making; expanding into collages of sound - open frameworks with jazz influences as much as from painters Cy Twombly and Joan Mitchell.
