Severin Minus Seven is a dedicated practitioner across several disciplines, strongly encouraging cross genre collaborations. This performance is the result of 10 years creative development, heavily influence by Zen and Chaotica, the progression will be one of space and meditation to extreme layering of harmonics effected voice and tamboura (ancient Indian drone instrument).

Jasper Streit?s recent works address the psychology of human interfacing in interactive technologies, specifically the anthropomorphism of the machine. This performance will concentrate on time manipulation and the effect on audience driven work. The piece will be performed on a laptop using it?s built in microphone as stimulus as well as keyboard input from the performer.

Zane Trow works with improvisation and sound art treatments through pure frequency modulation synthesis, complex digital delay systems and with Audiomulch sound software. Recent performances in Brisbane include ambient raga/sound improvisations at dawn for the Powerhouse Turbine Hall space. He is currently working on a long-term series of large-scale sound installation/performance projects with David Toop, Richard Barrett, Scanner and I/O at South Bank Parklands.
