FREQS & GEEKS ft. Matthew Magnus + Naomi Baltyn

FREQS & GEEKS showcases electronic artists from Lutruwita/Tasmania—emerging, established, and everything between. A space for the unclassifiable. Hypnotic, chaotic, euphoric, and raw. Textures that swallow you whole.

Matthew Magnus is an Australian artist and composer based in nipaluna/Hobart, lutruwita/Tasmania. With a background in psychotherapy, fine arts, and audio engineering, his creative practice has long been centred on ritualised cycles of mark-making. In recent years, he has rekindled his passion for analogue synthesis, expanding his artistic exploration into sound. The results are slowly evolving, repetitive compositions that create a hypnotic, deep listening experience.

Originally from Boorloo/Perth, Naomi Baltyn is a musician living and working on Muwinina Land in Nipaluna, Lutruwita. With a sound leaning into new age melancholy, Naomi combines voice—her main instrument—with lush ambient reverbs, digital piano and synthesisers. While the emotional depth of her songs is conveyed through her lyricism, it’s in Naomi’s hypnotic and glossolalia-like vocals where the feelings are conveyed; inviting quiet contemplation and reflection.
