AUSTRALYSIS - An international music and intermedia ensemble, creating, performing and producing new work, composed and improvised - directed by Roger Dean. austraLYSIS creates improvised musics and sound, text and performance art; and music related to other artistic media, such as the visual arts. austraLYSIS incorporates computer-interactive networked improvisation, using both acoustic and electroacoustic sound, compositional patches written in MAX, and sound processing live and mediated by such patches. austraLYSIS has premiered and/or commissioned more than 100 compositions from many countries, performed in most parts of the world, and has made more than fifteen commercial sound recordings, intermedia CD-ROMs and web-pieces.

UNDECISIVE GOD is the experimental music project of Clinton Green. Through it, he seeks to explore the textures of sound and noise mainly generated by guitars through both conventional and unconventional means, creating sound/music that acts as an aural equivilent to abstract art.

HASHIMOTO'S CURSE - Elements of grind, bop, thump and post-progressive rock combine to form the sonic foundation of Hashimoto's Curse. Reckless abandon for accepted musical standards, as well as a deep brooding sense of the impending doom related to the band's name.

THE BEANBAG COLLECTIVE - Developed in the welfare-class suburb of Stephens on the Gold Coast, Australia, beanbag is best described as "lounge music for people who can't afford lounges". It combines elements of turntablism, plunderponica, lounge, glitch, and a hint of disco to create a chaotic yet relaxing blend.
