The Blue Mountains Void Observance League present Vacuus Rituale II, a night of esoteric soundscapes and noise.

Marlené Claudine Radice (ACT)

Marlené Claudine Radice is an Australian composer who specialises in notated electroacoustic composition by exploring how art and sound complement one another. Taking recorded sounds away from their original sources, they process and manipulate these into new musical structures. Raw industrial noises, looped voices and hypnotic soundscapes are layered to create a nuanced and original sound. They have performed their noise act supporting artists such as Bonniesongs, Lucas Abela, Npcede and have performed in Hermann Nitsch's Action.

Making Out (ACT)

Making Out (Rosa Bassett) is an Indonesian composer, performer, sound artist and organiser based on Ngunnawal/Ngambri Country. She works across noise, free improvisation, new music, and punk and hardcore. As an improviser she explores patience, discipline, embodiment, and touch. Her performance practice searches for and embeds embodiment in noise, seeking soundworlds which are at times enveloping and haptic, and at others bare, raw, and ascetic. Making Out proposes challenges to herself around stamina, stasis, and focus.

Daemon Silk

Daemon Silk is a multidisciplinary artist and composer. His uncompromising and confrontational practice encapsulates everything from noise to modern classical, drone, free improvisation and electro acoustic improvisation (EAI). Daemon uses full fledged sonic manipulation paired with acoustic textures to jar the listener into a state of catharsis.

Vivisection

Through the mist of static, a half-remembered entity flickers, hallucinatory and perverse, into earshot, before merging into the haze of layered sound. Vivisection is the solo project of Rhiannon Evans Mostafa. She invokes a ritual atmosphere through a distinctly industrial mode of practice, exploring themes of dissociation, languor and annihilation. Vivisection uses white noise, obsolete technology, situationally harvested samples, and reverberation to create sonic spectres, offering glimpses into a hazy half-world through her DIY improvisations.
