The session will conclude on the rooftop of co-presenter Australian Institute of Music’s (AIM) offices, with its million-dollar views of Sydney Opera House, which will be lit up for the VIVID Festival.

Guests will also enjoy performances from drummer, composer, sound designer and instrument designer Alon Ilsar, plus Ichika Asoto, the Japan-born, Sydney-based experimental electronic music composer.
