Offspring Bites 1
Offspring Bites 1 showcases well-known Australian composer Mary Finsterer alongside the highly talented young composer Tristan Coelho and Berlin-based Mexican composer and sound artist Juan Felipe Waller. These works couldn’t be more different but what they do have in common is an uncompromising aesthetic and an obsession with new and unique sound worlds.
