EDIE EVE'S AND ALEX MACKINNON
Both residents of the super clandestination NONE in Dunedin, will be dragging our cochlea through a tide of tonal currents... filling the High Seas!
Edie Eves, a long time member of The Invaders and new member of The Aesthetics, work as a sound maker forges the lo-fi into the monumental; Alex, of the late Dunedin free... metal(?) band Dirt Room, works through an expanded guitar orientation into home-spun electronics; smashing both together surely sounds unabashedly southern in its trad-freenoise elements but is intended to create a tonal construction that... is probably the sonic equivalent of having a bath and shower at the same time.

THE ABSOLUTIONISTS
Are spectral-dance-voodoo-pulse-love-jam-space-mis-form-brothers/sisters, fuck the codifiers, fuck the expectayshin, fuck the fans, fuck the genre, fuck the puppy, no testification, free-determined fantastitude, festival flying up niceness art/life totality, fuzzy dance-bomb finger painting, less hesitance, miracle frequencies float the free sea's, H Bomb, HEX HEX HEX, peacock storm dance blisters, sweet charms, ringing gong chants and sexy salads, voodoo punk hippies speak the yelling vibes of beastial broadband jungle spazz evolution music from roots like volcano's and carved mountain abysses.

NIGEL WRIGHT
Creates slabs of heavy drones, underlying rhythms trying to get out and sometimes succeeding, speakers sometimes complaining.... NW uses his laptop and guitar to aid him in creating these pieces with no particular beginning or ending points, more a filtering of a sound that already exists.
NW collaborates with Andrew Scott (half of Metal Rouge) as Nest, and with local artist Tim Coster as Cathedrals as well as helping to run The High Seas gallery/shop/venue with Auckland visual artist Sophie Watson.

RACHEL SHEARER
"Rachel Shearer is an integral player in the New Zealand underground. Performing with Kiwi bands Angelhead and Queen Meanie Puss during the 1990s, Rachel entrenched her sound in the ears of adventurous stateside record collectors, recording for labels like Flying Nun, Xpressway and Siltbreeze. Rachel's solo performances as Lovely Midget created a transcendent world of shivering ambient sounds, distant ruptures and warm washes of analog sheen. Building pieces around aching tube equipment, and delicate strokes of guitar, bass, percussion and vocal hum, Lovely Midget's international appeal has far surpassed her meager output. Somehow crossing the paths of Brian Eno to Jason Lescalleet and Elanie Radigue to François Bayle with a personal intimacy and the lovingly woven aural tapestries New Zealand has become known for a sublime aural architect of a new order." - Forced Exposure
