An afternoon of serene pop and surreal soundscapes at the former quarry in Mount Victoria
Waterfalls is the immersive and verdant avant-pop project of Amber Johnson (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Kahu ki Whangaroa). Melding dreamlike analog synth layers with celestial vocals and luxurious flutes, mesmerising grooves, gently unfurling sonics and beats that shift from sparse to polyrhythmic. She strives for beauty and emotional depth in her musical output.
Lorazepam is an exercise in pop music for beautiful freaks. Merging electronic and digital sounds with fragile and often tormented songwriting, Lora crafts songs that sprawl in chaos and sometimes rest in tranquility, accompanied by the gorgeous guitar and synth contributions of Lochi (Mirror Ritual, Crossing Water).
Field Enhancement - ACOLDPLACE draws inspiration from many different styles of music such as IDM, noise, drone, minuteless, psycore, techno and ambient. Much of the sound involves heavily manipulated and distorted textures, arrhythmic drums and scifi like synths, not keeping to any strict style or bpm.
