Lee Hana, with friends and collaborators, is making an immersive soundworld for ‘Descendants’, his latest mind-bending collection of science fiction stories. Performing at The Audio Foundation are—
LEE HANA. An Aotearoa-Australian writer in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington, Lee Hana’s writing has appeared in New Australian Fiction, Cordite, Dark Mountain, Overland and Antipodean SF. The story collection ‘Descendants’ was launched by PSY FI, a Pōneke showcase of future facing artists. lee-ha-na.com
LUDUS. Intrepid electronic producer Emma Bernard is always moving between worlds: from ambient to field recordings, from Whanganui to Chengdu, from headlining festivals with her avant-industrial band BIRDPARTY, to the spiritual ambient explorations created by Ludus for spaces such as Splore and O Vere Beata Lux at Erskine Chapel. @ludus.etc
KRAUS. Beloved musical explorer Pat Kraus uses ‘black box electron workflow’ to synthesize psychedelia from hard electricity, like a detailed trance. Tonight we hear his science fiction side.
FLOWERSTREAM. Ghuzheng dreampunk duo Huiming Wu and Maxwell Brown built their sound vehicle for you to travel diverse landscapes, from delicate to doooom.
DESCENDANTS. Science fiction stories. ‘Mass hysteria overwhelms an Australian shopping mall. A Burmese monk recalls a strange path to enlightenment. A firebrand lawmaker discovers what’s left after her soul is stolen. And everywhere, in this wild panorama of the next five centuries, we find the spectral traces of ourselves. These are worlds, sometimes disturbing, where you may not recognise your descendants…’ Available now at Unity Books.
