Rory J S + Troth
22 May 2024
A double bill that teeters on the edges of the ambient, experimental and the lyrical, Rory J S (of sophisti-pop ensemble Honey 2 Honey) and Troth are two fixtures of the Australian DIY scene worthy of your time.
Rory J S
Rory J S — thick, warm, singing, screwing, Stenning, low end, low concept, music as music, whips, works, wants, Rory. Rory J less. Or he’s Jay. Sore he, sorry — say less, be blessed.
Troth
Troth are a nipaluna-living duo comprising Amelia Besseny and Cooper Bowman. Their music blurs lines between minimal synth-pop, immersive ambient soundscapes and field recording-based sound art. Key themes across their work are interpreting time spent in natural environments, attempting to engender beauty via tapping into elements of ritual and finding new modes to express dialogue with each other.
In 2022 they toured Europe, performed at Soft Centre (Sydney) and MONA (Tasmania). In 2023 they have supported Maxine Funke (NZ) and hosted Jon Collin (Sweden) for a short tour. Also in 2023, they released their third album, Forget The Curse, a compilation of early work on Sweden’s Fordamning Arkiv and a live cassette via Melbourne’s A Colourful Storm. They have a mini-album, titled Idle Easel, being released before 2023 is out.
This performance is part of the 24th Biennale of Sydney, Ten Thousand Suns.
This performance will take place at the NSW State Heritage-listed White Bay Power Station, as part of the 24th Biennale of Sydney.
Placemaking NSW has undertaken extensive remediation and conservation works to repurpose White Bay Power Station as an arts, cultural and community hub. It will become a focal point for the transformation of the Bays West precinct into a connected and vibrant new area for living, working and recreation.
White Bay Power Station was constructed between 1912 and 1917 to power the rail network and is now over 100 years old. It is exceptionally significant as the only power station retaining machinery and equipment from before the 1950s, demonstrating the process of electricity production and its use throughout Sydney’s extensive rail network.
