Nina Buchanan

After hours, the room hosts one-off sessions, talks, and listening parties from RISING artists who you wouldn’t usually get to see up close. The lineup has been curated by Yasmine Sharaf host of Cease + Desist on Triple R and Robin Fox, co-founder and artistic director of MESS.

Renowned for her powerful live performances, Nina Buchanan’s elemental, intuitive approach to synthesizer music wades through lush melodies, thumping rhythms and atmospheric soundscapes. Emerging out of the Eora/Sydney and Naarm/Melbourne underground and experimental music scenes, her work creates rich emotional landscapes, oscillating between the ecstatic and the melancholic. Nina’s music evokes genre affiliations as broad as contemporary club, IDM, emo-ambient, noise, and minimalism, but is always expanding into new territories with a staunchly DIY ethos.
