Experience a one-time only collaboration between two music visionaries.

Two music visionaries, one shimmering performance: London’s Actress and Melbourne’s HTRK play live, together. Born out of a mutual adoration of each other’s music, these kindred spirits have collaborated from across the world for this one-night-only event in a world-exclusive commissioned by Now or Never.

Intimate, sensual and minimalist, few have elevated mood in such a way as HTRK, with Jonnine Standish’s ear-wringing vocals and Nigel Yang’s brooding guitar. Suffused with poetic gravity, their music is coded as fantasy, venturing into the heady expanse of dub dream and memory.

Meanwhile, electronic composition giant Actress has been credited with some of the least predictable, least classifiable music of his era. An acclaimed experimentalist, he consistently discharges his unmistakable sound to decayed and disorienting effect, forging a body of work that stands as like an inscrutable monolith, replete with secrets of the far future.

This collaboration will be one for the history books.
