Spellbound.. ? I think so
@borgqueen101@niph.ophila
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

ARTIST FEATURE
Finn Idris (aka Insula, Borg Queen, and other monikers) is a Melbourne-based composer, electronic producer, and multi-instrumentalist whose work spans experimental IDM, electro-acoustic composition, and immersive audiovisual performance. With more than a decade of professional violin/viola chamber experience and advanced techniques developed across violin, viola, piano, and guitar, Finn fuses classical craft with cutting-edge electronic production.
A graduate of the Conservatorium van Amsterdam (Master of Music with High Distinction), Finn has released four albums with the acclaimed Steeplejack label and numerous singles and extended plays with Denmark’s Janushoved and other European imprints. Recent highlights include Insula, a solo IDM/trap project integrating live resynthesis and electric violin, and Helcarax, a major collaborative work with Alex Raineri.
A self-taught technologist, Finn integrates Max/MSP, BlazePose, neural-sensor arrays, and modular synthesis to build interactive systems that blur the line between performer and audience. They have composed soundtracks for interactive media (including the isometric shooter Kill Knight), large-scale installations at Denmark’s IT University, and numerous independent theatre and AI-film projects.
Beyond performance and composition, Finn is an emerging mastering engineer, currently expanding a Dutch & Dutch 8c based facility featuring class A conversion and the latest software topologies for a variety of technical applications and genres.
🎥 Live footage from last months show @rest_in_spit featuring next level visuals from @niph.ophila 🤯🤯🤯
I actually had no idea exactly what Niph was going to do before we played together on the night so I could/can barely contain my own awe at their work during the set - if you want to see us do this again soon hit us up 🪩🪩🪩😈😈😈 ——————————————————#ExperimentalMusic #IDM #LiveAV #Audiovisual #ElectronicMusic #Violin #ElectricViolin #MaxMSP #TouchDesigner #ModularSynth #GranularSynthesis #VisualArt #GenerativeArt #UndergroundMusic #MelbourneMusic #LiveVisuals #ImmersiveArt #AvantGarde #PerformanceArt #ExperimentalVisuals #SoundDesign #ClubCulture #NewMusic
