Boris & Merzbow Present Dronevil (JPN) Takkak Takkak (JPN & IDN) Jannah Quill x House of Vnholy (AUS)

Opening with a chthonic rumble, plunge headfirst into a monumental wall of sound at Hindley Street Music Hall. As darkness falls, the frayed edges of noise, metal and avant-audiovisual art will coalesce for an evening of ritual and sonic transgression, headlined by the seismic collision of two cult icons of Japanese noise and metal, Boris and Merzbow, in a world premiere Australian exclusive.

Boris and Merzbow Present Dronevil

A monolithic collision of distortion and devotion, Dronevil marks the 20th anniversary of one of Japan’s most uncompromising unions in sound. Across two decades, Boris and Merzbow have mapped the outer edges of sonic extremity - where metal, noise, and drone collapse into a single, tectonic body. For this rare world premiere performance, the pair summon the full gravitational weight of feedback, resonance, and vibration; a towering wall of sound that engulfs, dissolves, and transfigures. Co-presented with Room40.

Takkak Takkak

A playfully eccentric, pulsating mass of precarious polyrhythms and DIY drones, Takkak Takkak is a brand new project from prolific Berlin-based Japanese producer Shigeru Ishihara (aka DJ Scotch Egg) and Vilnius-based Indonesian composer and instrument builder Mo’ong Santoso Pribadi, best known as one half of Raja Kirik. The duo find common ground in their borderless enthusiasm for tempo-fluxed rhythms - hence their tongue-in-cheek, onomatopoeic moniker. Hacking contemporary and traditional musical forms, Takkak Takkak fuses eardrum-piercing club music, hypnotic gamelan patterns, xenharmonic chimes and howling vocals, to create an uttelry singular vortex of sound. Tryp plays host to the duo’s psychoactive A/V show, featuring visuals by visionary Singaporean VJ Brandon Tay.

Jannah Quill x House of Vnholy

A new audiovisual work from Jannah Quill x House of Vnholy which builds on their longstanding collaborative practice of designing innovative integrated systems that amplify light into audio using photovoltaic transduction. Complex electronic rhythmic explorations are in a feedback loop with lighting and video design, where light is triggered by audio signal, and solar panels are used to transduce light wave forms back into audio, creating an idiosyncratic sound world where each light source contains its own unique sonic profile.  

Between Jannah Quill’s extensive and sensitive practice in modular synthesis and electronic music production and Matthew Adey’s prolific history in production and lighting design, the performance is set to be a cutting edge, all-encompassing, sensory A/V experience.
