Zones for outer orbit sound worlds, post-world atmospheres and deep rift drifts.

Curated by ROOM40, The Prey And The Ruler is an exercise in extended sound practices that trace a line north from Naarm/Melbourne. Each performance interrogates a different sonic form and methodology and pushes outward to create orbits of meshing sound worlds and post-zonal atmospheres.

The eponymous headliner for The Prey And The Ruler is a collaboration between acclaimed musicians Senyawa, Aviva Endean, Lawrence English and Peter Knight. Don’t miss their Australian premiere performance.

This event is strictly 18+

"(Senyawa) ... a thrilling, at times ecstatic serenade to the collapse of civilisation."
