Megan Alice Clune, Rai Tateishi
MEGAN ALICE CLUNE (Room40, Meakusma – AUS)
Megan Alice Clune is a musician and composer from Gadigal and Wangal lands (Sydney, Australia). Her work blends music, technology, and the body through composition, performance, and installation. Known for her “visionary ambient” sound and “breathtakingly intimate” style, Megan’s music combines minimalism with rich textures. She draws on classical training, conceptualism, avant-garde influences, and electronic music.
Megan has collaborated with filmmakers, visual artists, and choreographers, and has performed internationally, including at Silent Green (Berlin) and the Sydney Opera House. Her albums, Furtive Glances (2023) and If You Do (2021), have received praise from Bandcamp Daily, Boomkat, and Groove Magazine.
Her new album, Repetition Study I: imagine being, has just been released on the Meakusma label. The performance will mark its official release event. Recorded during her 2024 European tour, the work unfolds in four movements for voice, piano, clarinet, and pedals. Expansive yet intimate, it explores repetition, memory, and subtle harmonic shifts in a quietly radical minimalist form.

RAI TATEISHI (Goat – JP)
Rai Tateishi is a flute player with the Japanese shinobue as his foundation. He performs with a wide range of wind instruments, exploring approaches to sound rooted in local landscapes and somatic sensibilities. As a member of the taiko performing arts ensemble Kodo, he has presented his music extensively in Japan and internationally. After departing from Kodo, he collaborated with artists such as choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Living National Treasure Kabuki actor Bando Tamasaburo, Ichikawa Danjuro, Phew, and Seiichi Yamamoto. He also engages in contexts where tradition and experimentation intersect, including the rhythm ensemble goat (jp) and the multi-ethnic performing arts group WATARA.
In recent years, Rai has developed a unique musical expression that fuses traditional techniques with electronics, releasing his debut album Presence on the label NAKID under the production of Koshiro Hino (known for goat and YPY). Recently, he has performed at MODE 2025 and Unsound Osaka. He currently lives in the mountains of Japan, continuing a creative practice in close connection with nature.
