But in 2024, we were drawn by a mysterious force to the Vortex Stage, a peculiar structure resembling a German Expressionist shed. It was nearly empty inside, just a few punters splayed out on the rough floor. A giant LED-panelled crucifix was inexplicably slung from the ceiling, bisecting the projector screen featuring two adjacent browser windows with roughly thirty YouTube tabs a piece playing a relentless avalanche of abject,...

Helen Svoboda – Headwater
Helen Svoboda Headwater On Room40, an album in which the gaps between sounds are sometimes as significant as the sounds themselves Headwater by Helen Svoboda For her latest album, Headwater, Helen Svoboda has stripped her work back to the essentials. The Finnish/Australian artist has assembled a minimalist album of double bass musings and vocals, frequently piecing together fragments to build her narrative. Svoboda employs silence in her songs like it’s an instrument. Negative space fills her songs, pausing without awkwardness, and allowing each note to sit with itself as if in contemplation. ‘Child’ is largely a cappella and has gulfs of silence around her vocals.
