all this noise brings together four Naarm / Melbourne based artists who work with the medium of sound in their practices. Considering our collective times, all this noise explores the myriad of visual, [un]informative, and political noise[s] in our contemporary societies. Presented both aurally and visually, the works in all this noise fold, amplify, and collapse these collective times into further temporalities.

Blindside Mobile is a curated online platform for projects in the digital space by Victorian-based creatives.
Mobile is supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.
This program takes place on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded - this land is stolen land. We pay respects to Wurundjeri Elders, past, present and emerging, to the Elders from other communities and to any other Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders who might encounter or participate in the program.
Geoff Robinson is a Naarm/Melbourne-based artist working on Wurundjeri country. Robinson creates event-based artworks that utilise the temporal qualities of sound and performance and the spatial conditions of physical sites to unravel the durational layers of place. Recent projects include: Durational Situation / Umeälven / Birrarung (2021), Re-Think Festival, Umeå; Tributary Project (2020-2022), Bus Projects & Composite, Melbourne; Durational Situation / Vartiovuori (2019-2020), Titanik gallery, Turku; Itinerant Sound (2015-2019), multiple sites across Australia. Robinson has held residencies and exhibited at Titanik gallery, Turku; Helsinki International Artist Programme; MoKS, Estonia; and Seoul Art Space. He was awarded the Melbourne Prize for Urban Sculpture 2014 and completed the PhD project Durational Situation at MADA, Monash University, Melbourne, 2018.
Sara Retallick is an artist and researcher living and working on Wurundjeri Country in Naarm. Her work explores human perceptions of sound through constructed sonic encounters. Currently, she is investigating sound in underwater environments to expand sonic contexts and to push the physical limits of listening and understandings of sound.
Sara also performs live with exploratory electronics, bass and voice. She has contributed to various live projects over the past 18 years, having performed shows for Dark MOFO (2016), Melbourne Music Week (2021), and Shepparton Art Museum (2022). The evolving nature her live practice aims to harness the freedom to experiment, offering genre-crossing encounters that span soundscape, noise, sound collage, pop music and improvisation.
Sara has exhibited internationally at Reina Sofía in Madrid, Sapin (2020) and I.S.E.A. in Durban, South Africa (2018). Nationally, Sara has presented installations at RISING Festival (2021), BLINDSIDE (2019), and Bus Projects (2017).

In 2020, he released Son of Nyx, a modal jazz record that was album of the week on Jazz FM UK and PBS FM and has featured on BBC6.
Sharni HodgeSharni Hodge currently works in architectural assistance and has an independent video practice often applied within live performance settings. She is drawn to exploring transitional states of degrowth within our streetscapes, prioritising location scouting to search for, document, re-order and immortalise these spaces.
Daniel Tucceri is a musician who has explored various realms over the past decade as a classical pianist, improviser, collaborator and curator of the Melbourne Drone Orchestra. Currently, Daniel is motivated to share his knowledge of music with his students and to continue exploring music’s outer limits through sound synthesis, extended technique and field recordings.
