What would it sound like if we could interact musically with plants and fungi—if humans stopped to listen and respond? vegetable.machine.animal is an interspecies improvisational trio exploring this question through a hybrid sonic language of biosignals, modular synthesis, and live drums.
Hailing from Te Whanganui a Tara / Wellington, Aotearoa, v.m.a. is embarking on its debut tour of so-called Australia in June 2026, and will be joined at the Sydney show by local experimental / noise acts Society of Cutting Up Men (S.C.U.M) and Rapacity.
