noom live set @ Subspace 2021-22

So I don't just make electronic music, I also play the melodica in a very wholesome band called The Wholefoods Overground :)

Formed out of many afternoon jams at Wholefoods, a student-run vegan/vego cafe-restaurant and community space at Monash Uni. This isn't just any old hospo job for all of you wondering 'what's the big deal about some vegan food joint?'

Wholefoods has been the most transformational space I have ever had the privilege to be a part of, with wonderful people all working together to serve cheap + healthy meals in an anti-hierarchical and collective-based food co-op.

Our songs are a mash of folk, reggae, punk, vegetables, niche things about Wholefoods, and politics. Occasionally we play at house parties and fundraisers.

This project was supported by the City of Melbourne through SIGNAL Screen X Sound Commissions.

~~ NETWURM is a piece about the transmutation of data, and the variability of networking and playback hardware. Interruptions, stuttering, and the wide range of speaker quality highlights the materiality of sound as information mediated through technology, prone to degradation and glitch. In a creative context, these artefacts of materiality take control away from human intent and reflect a collaborative relationship between the laptop, Internet, and myself. Sounds scrounged from VoIP technology, DAW artefacts, and laptop machinery morph into shapes and new patterns, while the piece itself is made to transform on different speaker types, from smartphones to hi-fi sound systems. This piece is an experiment in creative technological collaboration and playback performance. ~~

This project was supported by the City of Melbourne through SIGNAL Screen X Sound Commissions.

Collab with video artist Grace Quiason

~~ARTIFICIAL IMPRESSION is a piece exploring nostalgia and emotional expression in an abstract form through the use of dated screen and sound technologies. Assembled during a period of abrupt change and social separation, the piece juxtaposes evocative analogue textures of bygone eras against harsh digital glitch. The method of Databending with Audacity applied to digitized Super 8 footage, and Ableton algorithms and interface pushed to form ruptures in audio samples and field recordings, generates expressive and organic malfunction. ARTIFICIAL IMPRESSION draws focus to the process of recollecting and reconstructing memories by using the glitch as a point of rupture and rebirth.~~
