Sound Lab 04 is a mesmerising, genre-bending, hypnotic audio-visual experience, featuring Merryn Jeann, Johnny T, and M.E. Baird with Leroy Who + Georgi Milln.
Merryn Jeann is triple diamond credited songwriter and multidisciplinary artist based on Bundjalung Country. She has crafted a genre-bending world of soundscapes that bear a magnetic, musical wisdom. Sitting somewhere between Caroline Polachek, Cat Power, Weyes Blood, Feist, and Aldous Harding. Merryn Jeann's sound is fuelled by authenticity.
Johnny T is a live performance where machines, loops, and human energy collide. For months, Johnny T searched for the perfect tool to perform solo. Watching videos of the AdrenaLinn pedal, he became obsessed with its possibilities, its beats and effects quickly became the brain of the show. The pedal proposes; Johnny T responds, triggering every loop, every tension, every experience.
M.E. Baird (Matthew Ede Baird) is a remarkable and somewhat mysterious talent. He is a critically acclaimed singer, songwriter, and musician with a three-decade career, as well as a visual artist and arts academic. From his deep, lamenting voice and beguiling songs to his thought-provoking artwork, M.E. Baird is an artist in every sense.
