From 7.30pm mixing/mastering/vocal engineer, songwriter, producer Becki Whitton in an improvised live vocal looping set.
Aphir is the electronic choral project of engineer/songwriter/producer Becki Whitton. Her approach to music balances focus and ease, and centres on a thirst to find the most powerful expression of a song’s emotional core. Becki has received ARIA, AWMA and Music Victoria Award nominations for her sound work. Since 2016, Becki has released music through experimental label Provenance Records, founded by Stuart Buchanan (New Weird Australia) and, following Buchanan’s departure from the label, turned Provenance into an artist cooperative in 2021. Throughout 2020 - 2021 Becki embraced the challenges of pandemic lockdown through live-streaming on Twitch - first producing, recording, and mixing her 2020 LP, Republic of Paradise on livestream, and then pursuing marathon-length vocal improvisations on Twitch throughout 2021, culminating in a 12-hour performance on Boxing Day that year.
We can’t wait to hear her at Sawtooth!
