Mosquito Farm began in 2022, an artists band and collaboration between Maddie Banwell and Grace Black. Their performances include many handmade instruments - mechanical, electronic and acoustic, alongside props and devices to play them with. Some forms are unrecognizable as instruments, while some resemble more conventional strings, drums or machines. These create sequences of drone and percussion, switching between microtonal harmonies and more chaotic layered rhythms with harsher sounds. Their performance is as much object theatre as music - their physical presence is choreographed with deliberate and focused movement. These encourage objects within parameters to construct or collapse their set up, veering between intensity and awkwardness. This year, they have performed in DIY venues across London, as well as Kraak festival in Antwerp, and Supernormal Festival in Oxford. They will perform at LUFF (Lausanne Underground FIlm and Music Festival) and Margin Forever in Bristol at the end of 2024.
