Cross into the 'ruin' of This won't last by Chris Dolman with Echoes (Twilight), an extension of Verge's iterative student sound series. In this instance of Echoes, Chris Dolman will be joined by a lineup of performers to create a shifting sonic landscape within the exhibition space.
Through hand building and sandcasting, layered monoprints and soundscapes, disguised office furniture, field recordings, and videos on phones, This won't last draws on fragments of personal history, speaks to the artist studio as a site of ruin, and speculates on a collective dystopic future that is quickly closing in.
Featuring performances by Will Naufahu, m.h. and Gogol.
Food and drink provided at the launch. All welcome.

ABOUT THE PERFORMERS
Gogol
Gogol is the dark ambient and black metal leaning solo project from Chris Dolman.
A vehicle for morbid thoughts and misanthropic misadventure.
100% anitfascist and anti AI.
m.h.
m.h. is the solo project of Moss Hopkins, a sound artist and musician living on Wangal land. Working from an iterative, cut-up text score, live performances involve the use of lyres, tape, feedback, objects and obscured vocalisations. What results is a sparse and spectral electroacoustic music; an occult transmission that resembles music but feels elsewhere.
Will Naufahu
Will Naufahu is an artist based in Sydney, Australia. Through performance, he uses aesthetics of feedback noise and drones with referential found-sound, recontextualising otherwise abrasive and violent sonic elements to stage expressions of intense emotion and drama.
