This month Small Black Box teams up with the world-class Liquid Architecture festival, treating Brisbane audiences to a selection of diverse sound performances from artists from around Australia.

JODY KINGSTON?S creative practice combines soundscape, text composition and performance drawing largely upon techniques of sampling, simultaneity, non-linearity, random order and the sonic mass. This SBB she presents "Lullabies for Robots" - a sound-driven performance of an imaginary world inhabited by the two robots, a parent and child, relics of the pre-digital age. Between the sound and the space, a robot sings...

BIFFPLEX is Joe Musgrove and Andrew Thomson. Inspired equally by the spaces between altered states of perception, film-makers such as Tarkovsky and Wong Kar Wai, the seductive sickliness of 1950's whitebread 'lurve' music, the hypnotic pulse of early Steve Reich and the brain-twatting assault of  Merzbow/Godzilla in full flight, Bifffplex produce a hypnotic, shifting wall of MONSTROUSLY ZENSUAL PHATTNEZZ, capable of inducing reactions as varied as deep sleep, vomiting and ecstatic, flailing abandon in audiences.

THE TERMINAL QUARTET was originally conceived by composer/producer Andrew Garton and video artist John Power as a means to define software as instrument, both in an audible and visual context. The Quartet performs structured improvisations - each performance is entirely unique, each performance influencing the next. Performers research and arrange individual movements in isolation from each other as governed by the context and structure of Garton's compositions. This SBB Andrew Garton (Melbourne) completes the quartet with Brisbane?s Paul Abad, Andy Bagley, and Andrew Kettle.
