The Quieter You Become has won the Green Room Award for Outstanding Technical Achievement. Proud of my work and that of the exceptional team. It really was a profound technical undertaking creating a bespoke 42 channel spatial sound system with integrated lighting. Couldn’t have done it without core technical team of Bob Jarvis (audio systems design), @dual.flow (Lighting and Systems Design) and @robertwilldesign (speaker design). 😮‍💨 💪🏼 .

Join us for the eighteenth edition of HEAR THE MACHINE, a monthly series showcasing experimental synthesiser music, including drone, ambient, noise, and other electronic music practices being explored by artists in Naarm and the wider community. HEAR THE MACHINE happens on the last Sunday of the month, at Nighthawks Bar - 136 Johnston street Collingwood. HEAR THE MACHINE #18 March 29th 2026 7pm doors $15/10 (no presales) The artists: Todd Anderson-Kunert (TAK). Todd Anderson-Kunert (TAK) is a sound artist, who works across performance, installation, and releases. Common to all these is an exploration of texture, frequency and silence, and a curiosity about how sound can convey emotion/s. He also hand makes stereo & custom contact microphones. To see and hear things visit: Jannah Quill. Jannah Quill has been making experimental electronic music and systems based audio visual installation and sound art for over a decade. Her sound is shaped at the intersection of computer music and modular synthesis, combining complex and considered rhythm making with synthesiser experimentation. /album/jannah-quill Tilman Robinson. Tilman Robinson is a composer, producer and sound designer. He creates dark ambient and maximalist electro-acoustic music drawing from a wide musical palette. Tilman’s diverse output focuses on the psychological impact of dense sound incorporating acousmatics and psychoacoustic principles. His music ranges from drone heavy ambient meditations, to pointillistic flurries of electronically altered acoustic sound, to rich immersive field recordings. / We acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, the true owners and custodians of the land where this event takes place. Always was. Always will be.
