Host Stu Buchanan (Resonance FM / FBI Radio) talks with artists and labels across a wide spectrum of eclectic and experimental Australian music. Neither one genre nor another, New Weird Australia challenges our collective understanding of what music can and should be.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.
Stu Buchanan talks with artist Bridget Chappell - raver, musician, writer and organiser - who makes frenetic and febrile electronic music as Hextape, and has been organising parties in drains, observatories, and other fascinating locations for many years. In 2020, they released their debut album under their own name titled Undertow, which blends sonified data from the City of Melbourne’s Open Data Platform with Melbourne's public sound sculpture, the Federation Bells.
Brought up in Canberra, now resident in Melbourne; Bridget has a diverse practice that also encompasses writing, teaching and curating, as well as sound art for installations and performances; most recently for their first solo exhibition No Comment, which investigated the science of phase cancellation and its potential role as an act of sonic resistance.
