This discussion looks at new and interesting ways of making music. By changing the use of materials and technologies musicians and sound artists are inventing innovative techniques to compose, perform and interact with their audiences.

The discussion will be moderated by Nick Luscombe. Luscombe is sound engineer and DJ, presenter of Flo Motion on Xfm and music programmer at the ICA.

Panelists include Slub (Adrian Ward and Alex Mclean). Slub perform software writing, live. They subvert the computers in-built sound system to create sounds dictated by lines of code.

Joel Cahen works with film, dance and theatre productions and curates multi-disciplinary events at the Whitechapel Gallery. He also has a fortnightly show on ResonanceFM called The SaturdayNightMashUp.

Joe Banks (of Disinformation) works within the 'elusive psychology of the listening experience'. With Disinformation he has researched and documented sonic phenomena for a decade, capturing the sounds of atmospheric and geomagnetic disturbances with customised radio equipment.

Patrick Thursby is one half of circuit bending duo DJ Tendraw & The Gypsies Dog. The pair perform high voltage live surgeries on unasuming technologies with sound streaching results.
