8pm - Billie and Matthew
Together, Billie Raffety and Matthew Elliot are an experimental a cappella duo that spins songs within songs, in a whirlwind of improvised theatrical flurries and delicious vocal textures. Drawing inspiration from the vocal landscapes of Meredith Monk, they craft spontaneous soundscapes that swing between stillness and joyful rambunctiousness, weaving intricate, emotive harmonies with nothing but their voices. Be prepared for a mix of nondescript languages, whimsical moments of uplift, and the occasional giggle of redemption. Every performance is a unique adventure—an ever-shifting blend of composed and improvised magic where calm moments of reflection meet the delightful uncertainty of chaos. Balancing what they can and weighing what they will not, Billie and Matthew thrive in that glorious state of confusion—because, let’s be real, they’re just as confused about it as you are.
9pm - CRXSH
CRXSH is an electro-acoustic duo made up of trumpeter Ashley Ballat and drummer / producer Odyssey Zelno. Melting together vignettes of crisp dance beats, dark melodies and industrial electronics, the pair present contemporary rhythms and textures with the flow and freedom of fluid improvisation. Odyssey Zelno’s influence from jungle, trap and D&B, mixed with Ballat’s background in experimental avant-garde and extended trumpet technique create a unique new sound on the Australian music scene.
