Jim Denley - wind instrument player (flute, bass flute, sax); prolific collaborator (Relative Band, Mind Body Split, Machine for Making Sense, GCTTCATT); "undisputed master of Australian improvisation" (Realtime). Improvisation, with its emphasis on spontaneity, site-specific work and collaboration has been central to his work. He sees no clear distinctions between his roles as instrumentalist, improviser and composer. In his Small Black Box performance, Denley will work with bass flute and a contact mic on his larynx which triggers various DSP (Digital Signal Processing) programs on his laptop in the quad speaker setup.

Cleaning Lady (aka Stephen Richards) performs noise based improvised electronic sounds with found and broken analogue and wind driven gear. Vintage synth noise; dissonant ambience; spontaneous noise burst. Stephen has toured extensively Nationally and Internationally with a plethora of different live and recording credits to his name.

Christine McCombe is a composer active in the electroacoustic and acoustic area, and is currently an Associate Lecturer in sound installation at Brisbane's QUT. For Small Black Box Christine presents "Sarabande" - an exploration of the sound world of the harpsichord. From the artist: "The piece arose out of my interest in the non musical sounds made by the instrument and the preconceptions that exist about the harpsichord - that the sound is delicate and transitory, refined and and non-reverberant. The sounds of the jacks being released are often edited out of commercial recordings of harpsichord music and these sound events became a focus for my sonic exploration."
