Intersection of moths & streetlights
Helvetica Noise - a writer, a musician & a noise artist fusing improvisation, procedure, experimentation & composition to create unfolding soundscapes. Moments in time that you’ll never hear the same way twice. As fleeting as moths under streetlights.
Helvetica Noise met through the thriving underground arts and music scene on Gadigal land of Marrickville, Sydney, Australia in 2018. They have performed a lot in Sydney at various fringe word/poetry and music festivals and arts events since then, ranging from the World’s Smallest Festival and King Street Crawl in both 2018 and 2019, their sell-out event Not Relatable in Enmore, to the InnerWest Council’s Midjuburi/Edge festival several years’ running more recently.
Through 2022 to 2024, Helvetica Noise recorded a suite of 6 EPs to progressively release. In May 2024 Helvetica Noise released the single How To Listen To Storms from their EP Lost In The Dust Factory, which came out on 29 November 2024.
Helvetica Noise is Aviva Shifreen (words), Genevieve Von Black (synths) & Matthew Syres (electronics & effects).
