Aviva Endean is a composer, sound artist and clarinettist. Her practice focuses on creating spaces for a deep engagement with sound, with the hope that attentive listening can connect people with each other and their environment. Aviva uses her mastery of the bass clarinet to uncover new sounds, often working with instrumental modifications, extensions and lo-fi electronics. Described as ‘captivating’, ‘sophisticated’, & ‘trance-inducing’, Aviva has presented her work worldwide, and released solo albums on SOFA (Norway) and Room40 (Australia).
Hirofumi Uchino (Defektro) is an Australian-based Japanese artist and the evil mastermind and father of the machines used in Defektro. He creates noise-related performances, objects, and exhibitions with wide-ranging skills and methods, characterised by their machine-produced, junk-metal sounds. Defektro have been performing domenstically and internationally for over 25 years, with over 30 recordings released on various labels around the world.
