Body

Techno Echo is a monthly meet-up for women & gender minorities to learn and share about audio + visual practices and technology. Featuring special micro performances and demonstrations by local artists/musicians followed by time for kōrero and connection. Our special guest artist for July is Synthetic Children.

Synthetic Children is the hardware electronic and poetry project of Ce (she/they), from Te Papaioea. Branching out from earlier ambient techno and harsh synth explorations, Synthetic Children is 2 stepping into brooding mangled creations of dubstep, post-jungle, and footwork. Unsettling soundscapes unfurl beneath rumbling bass as disparate vocal samples and occasional spoken word passages bring a dysphoric consciousness to the project. This is a sound heavily inspired by many rungle nights in Taonui Tinyclub, the hottest rave den in the Manawatū. Always keeping it dark, DIY, and vaguely danceable.

Hosted by Jess, Amber and Lora as part of Pyramid Club’s programme.
