Ania Reynolds
I am a freelance musician and composer with over 20 years' experience working professionally in the arts both nationally and across the globe. I have performed my original work across five continents, and been the Musical Director for Circus Oz, Yothu Yindi And The Treaty Project and the Flying Fruit Fly Circus, in addition to numerous collaborations with companies including Extraordinary Bodies (UK), Cirkus Cirkor (Sweden) Polyglot, Arena Theatre, NICA and Force Majeure (Australia). I am passionate about writing original music, and creating art and performances that are free and accessible to everyone. I perform as electronic artist Synthotronica (all original upbeat electronic music with live baritone saxophone and triangle), with recent local performances including Riverside Vibes Albury 2023, Two Fingers Bar Albury and Boogie At The Brewery at Tumut River Brewing Co. With Synthotronica I perform as a street performer at many community events and festivals, including international events The Buskers' World Games (Gwangju, South Korea 2022), Honk! Festival Rio de Janeiro (2019) and Tollwood Winter Festival Germany (2018). I also perform as a solo pianist, including with projection concert My Shadow Is My Only Follower (CoCreate Wodonga 2022), and my Allegro Non Oppo project, which is a series of solo piano concerts taking places in local op shops. My audiovisual practice involves gathering field recordings and video footage from specific locations, which I then warp and manipulate to create kaleidoscopic psychedelic audiovisual portraits of place that are made up entirely of sounds and sights gathered on location.
I have scored over fifty Australian circus, theatre, dance and moving image works.

Toby Mobbs
Pop-folk singer-songwriter and recording artist
Toby Mobbs is a librarian by day and pop-folk singer-songwriter by night. Mobbs has sought to carve a unique music style both live and in the studio by incorporating thick, dynamic, and rhythmic guitar, warm vocals, and introspective lyrical storytelling. When not in his hometown of Albury NSW, you will find him traveling around Australia finding new towns and audiences to connect with, providing insight into the stories behind the music, and promoting his latest studio releases.
While Toby has been labelled one of the hardest working independent touring musicians in the country, and having supported the likes of Thirsty Merc, Josh Pyke, and Winterbourne, his studio recordings shine a different light to his stripped back performances on stage. These recordings break far away from the solo artist typecast, showcasing a unique interpretation of the many musical genres that inspire his writing.
In 2022 Mobbs toured every Australian capital city for his ‘Placid In The Rough’ National Tour travelling 14,500km in his car over 28 days. This tour promoted his debut album by the same name with tracks taking out the #1 spot on the Atomic music charts for an unprecedented 15 consecutive weeks, #1 spot for Rock and #2 overall on the Triple J Unearthed charts, and #3 on AMRAP's national weekly regional charts.
In 2024 Mobbs again toured every Australian state and territory for his ‘In Between The Words’ National Album Tour travelling 14,000km in his car over 28 days. This tour promoted his second album by the same name showcasing "a stunning testament to Mobbs’ artistry and his impeccable ability to pen a tune" - Tyler Jenke
