::Artist Bio’s::

Scott Morrison is a Sydney based audio-visual artist. His screen based works have been exhibited and screened extensively throughout Australia and abroad. His primary interest lies in the musicality of
the image, the drama of natural occurence and how this can be re-imagined as new experience. Since 2007 this approach has been presented under the title of “ballad(s) for quiet horizons”. The work
has been presented as live performance and exhibited as installation with the Canberra Contemporary Art Space - Gorman House, Kudos Gallery, Sydney and Level 17, Melbourne.

Aaron Hull is a Wollongong/Sydney artist who reguarly moves his practice between multi screen audiovisual installation work and solo sound performances. Aaron has presented work overseas and more frequently in Australia. Prepare to emmerse yourself in a sound world of landscape recordings and synthetic minimal textures. Aaron is the curator of the performance series 1/4_inch, technical officer by day at the UOW, artist and a researcher madly trying to finish his thesis titled “Corroded Memories” by night. Go to Aaron’s Website for more info. http://www.halftheory.com/hull/ah/Aaron%20Hull.html

Splinter Orchestra “The Splinter Orchestra’s music is like quicksand: it can suck you in, just as each of the 27 musicians relinquished his or her sense of self within this monumental improvising ensemble. Listening to it is like looking down on a jungle from above, with infinite layers of foilage making for an image without surface. Behind every sound lurks another sound, and then another. The result is eerie and weirdly beautiful; more diaphanous then dense, which is a tribute to both the subtlety of the interaction and the sophistication of the recording. Remarkable.” John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald Jan 12 2008. Splinter Website http://www.splitrec.com/index.php?go=thesplinterorchestra

Chris Brimstone – the name is spoken in hushed tones in the dark
corners of the Internet and marijuana-scented haunts of Sydney’s poetry
scene. Is he the next Alan Ginsberg, a coffee-fueled maverick spitting
fractured urban narratives and postmodern sermons? Or is he a pathetic
young man, an emo/goth hybrid with a rhyming dictionary and few Lou
Reed songs? Come down and see for yourself…

Justice yeldham is back and should be back on deck so if you wanna come
chat with australia’s most intriguing cultural export since xxxx and
fosters about what’s happening in the world of glass playing come on
down and buy him a beer.

Every wednesday night club ‘consolador de dos caras’ will be changing

midweek becomes the minds principal night of longing.
