After a year of TONIC, we are thrilled to host Australian producer Insula @borgqueen101 to Aotearoa for their first tour of Aotearoa, playing five shows in Te-Ika-a-Māui. Insula operates at the intersection of brutal electronics, live violin, and real-time audiovisual systems. Built from resynthesis, distortion, and physical performance, the project treats the body as both instrument and controller. Recent shows expand into live collaboration with visual artist Niph @niph.ophila , forming immersive environments where sound and image evolve together in tightly coupled feedback. Their recent EP HYPOMOD is a sonic feat and we can’t wait to hear it in action alongside Niph visuals for the first time in Aotearoa. Thank you so much for the amazing poster @eeooffyy Tickets for all shows in bio via @undertheradarnz

TONIC002: Insula x Niph (AU) @borgqueen101 | Fox Moss | Ritual Heaps | WomaninSTEM Next Rātū Tuesday April 7, 8pm Insula: Insula operates at the intersection of brutal electronics, live violin, and real-time audiovisual systems. Built from resynthesis, distortion, and physical performance, the project treats the body as both instrument and controller. Recent shows expand into live collaboration with visual artist Niph, forming immersive environments where sound and image evolve together in tightly coupled feedback. Ritual Heaps: Ritual Heaps is psychic defense music. Minimalist and repetitive explorations into volume and stress form an aural glacis against modern deprivations, humiliations, and broken hearts. Electro-acoustic and osc noise. Fox Moss: Fox Moss is the solo project of Pōneke-based musician and artist Niamh Woollin. Through computer-born sounds and textures, they conquer immersive experiences that dissolve the boundary between the real and dreamt. womaninSTEM: womaninSTEM is the live noise project of RIZZO. searching for catharsis in chaos, feedback is mixed, looped, effected and fucked with. no gods, no masters, no input. Tickets $15 from @undertheradarnz , $20 door, $10 underwaged Thanks to Creative NZ and Wellington City Council for supporting Pyramid Club’s programme.

TONIC002: Insula x Niph (au) Te-Ika-a-Māui tour STARTS TODAY! Can’t wait to begin at @snails.artistrunspaces The accompanying visuals for the tour are created by a recent live collaborator of Insula’s, Niph @niph.ophila . We are sad they cannot join us live, but you can still experience their visuals throughout the tour. Niph is naarm based new-media artist, primarily exploring the use of data reactive simulation as a complimentary analogue of expression, where distinctions between sound, light and form are disregarded. The resulting compositions reflect not only musical qualities, but heavily tap into the emotional effects of performance and creation. Tickets in bio

Next Thursday night (Easter Friday the next day) we can’t wait to bring the show up to Whanganui at @porridge_watson for a night of live electronics and local DJ favourites Ludus + Rizzo to finish the evening. TONIC002: Insula x Niph (AU) | Body Beat Ritual @bodybeatritual | RIZZO @alicerizzoofficial | Ludus @ludus.etc Insula operates at the intersection of brutal electronics, live violin, and real-time audiovisual systems. Built from resynthesis, distortion, and physical performance, the project treats the body as both instrument and controller. Recent shows expand into live collaboration with visual artist Niph, forming immersive environments where sound and image evolve together in tightly coupled feedback. UK raised, New Zealand based Body Beat Ritual creates a stripped back soundworld of reverential body rhythms, pummelling hardware drums and hypnotic, politicised vocal samples. Within Aotearoa’s electronic community, Ludus has carved a distinct path through her ever-evolving practice as an avid sound designer and producer. With a knack for merging unexpected textures and rhythms, her production and DJing explores the range between ambient stillness and club intensity, where broken percussion and high frequency textures converge. Porridge is going to stay open a bit later for us tonight so DJs and Tonic co-founders Ludus and RIZZO are going to jump in for a little night cap! We will have to see what sort of chaser is in order after Insula - whether that be a light tipple or a few more swigs of the hard stuff. Poster by @eeooffyy Tickets in bio
