Peter Hobbs
Known for his award-winning cinematic and emotional body of work in recordings and immersive art works, Hobbs' new album Panpsychism is a vehicle for his masterful songwriting driven by experimental beats on a highway of immersive synth soundscapes, through an immersive visual-reactive world.
He is performing his modular synths and immersive AV show alongside legendary percussionist and drummer Isaac Levi Tucker.

Since 2018 he has been based on the island of Raʻiātea, working on solo recordings and various live collaborative projects. His current solo project is a playful and wryly nostalgic live soundtrack to a video collage of Cold War Era science fiction films using the spectral, alien tones of twin modular synthesisers.
Thomas Carroll and Waiwhai
Thomas Carroll’s (Ngāti Maru, Hauraki; Pākehā) has developed a voice with ngā taonga pūoro that conveys the artform as a living and evolving entity using electronic instruments to create a breathing, evolving soundscape world with fellow experimenter Waiwhai.

Her performances create uncontrived moments of beauty that make you feel that being alive is not irreconcilable with being free
