JOLTED ARTS SPACE: 342 HIGH ST NORTHCOTE

Alessio and Danilo Dilettoso.
Both brothers have been part of the Safe in Sound program since 2019. Alessio’s Delitosso's work utilizes the wireless system Air-sticks to activate mechanical and digital instruments in his practice. Accompanying him on vocals is his brother Danilo whose approach has an earnest and unbridled enthusiasm.

Mathew Larsen is now one of the most original and controversial sound artists in Melbourne. Mathew plays music with an unmistakable robust rigor, blending subtle provocation and paradox, without ever breaking from a refined poetic reverie. He has undoubtedly become one of the most provocative iconoclastic neo-avant-garde artists in the experimental scene since late November 2023.

Jodie Rottle.
Jodie is a creative flutist, researcher, lecturer, composer, and improviser who explores the curious and surprising sounds of everyday objects. Sought after for her whimsical perspective, her work within music often extends into performance art, puppetry, circus, installation art, and interdisciplinary realms. Jodie grew up in the Seattle area and lived in Meanjin/Brisbane for 10 years. She is now based in Naarm
