Hantu

Hantu is the project of Philadelphia-based, Malaysian-Australian musician and ethnomusicologist Isobel D’Cruz Barnes. Drawing on her Western (flute) and Indian (bansuri) Classical training, Hantu's sound world comprises field recordings, post-minimalist soundscapes and improvisation informed by spiritual jazz. Following an incendiary Melbourne debut in 2022, Hantu's distinctive sound has graced venues and festivals across Australia, and has been featured on international platforms such as NTS Radio and The Wire Magazine. Her live ensemble in Melbourne features Zachary Schneider (guitar/synth), Genevieve Fry (harp/recorder), Rama Parwata (percussion) and Tom Flenady (double bass).

Blue Communications

Blue communications are a 3 piece created in Melbourne’s Northern suburbs. With a largely sun soaked, jangly Australian sound, the band also incorporate elements of experimental noise and playful punk to tell funny tales of the people and places in their every day. Strong believers in the Morning Music Movement, the band rehearse almost exclusively in the early morning, accompanied by coffee and pastries. Influenced by groups such as the velvet Underground, Young Marble Giants and The Clean, the band have created a sound that is both organic and familiar sounding at times.
