Roused At! pres. Voice Actor [UK] at Season Three // Meanjin - Brisbane

About

Roused At! presents: VOICE ACTOR [UK] @ Season Three w/ local guest CHANEZE -- We are ecstatic to be presenting a Meanjin/Brisbane show for one of our favourite new artists in the world; the mysterious and magnificent Voice Actor. Voice Actor is the enigmatic music project of-Sheffield-based artist Noa Kurzweil. Voice Actor has established herself as one of contemporary electronic music’s most distinctive voices, blending her haunting, deadpan vocals with dream-pop, IDM, trip-hop, and lo-fi aesthetics with hypnagogic soundscapes. Their genre-defying debut was quietly released by Stroom in 2022. Sent from my Telephone spawned a mammoth of a record, made up of 109 songs; it is over three and a half hours long. In it, we find words are mirrors, reflecting soundscapes that recall memories both specific and universal. In the coming years Sent From My Telephone was followed by the more curated Fake Sleep (2023) and latest LP offer Lust (1) created in collaboration with Welsh producer Squu. "Lust (1) follows the narrative arc of a slowly depixelating image, and anything even approaching language, logic, or clarity only begins to gather by the last song (...) It’s the kind of thing someone says aloud exactly halfway between REM states and waking: logically sound but contextually absurd. That’s the sort of register needed, Kurzweil and Squu have found, to convey the essence of dreams. It’s a mode of communication beyond words." - Emma Madden, Pitchfork Artwork by Matthew Deasy (No.7 Print House) no charge for First Nations punters or trans people of colour wishing to attend - Friday, March 6th $25 - $35 (pay what you can) | 8:00pm - 11:30pm Season Three This show takes place on the stolen land of the Jagera people and the Turrbal people.
