Riccardo Cirani

Born: July 20, 1994

Riccardo Cirani makes his appearence in this world on the 20/07/1994 in Monselice (IT). Soon enough something in him became aware of the weakness of his own nature and of the abyss that divide who we are from what we are. Over the years he has found a very direct way to express this tension: through Music.One of the very first instrument he came across at the age of 11 was the guitar and until now it has been his favourite means. A solid practical / ascetic basis was provided by Robert Fripp's Guitar Craft / Guitar Circle, of which he has been part since the 13/01/2014. In this he performed concerts with the "Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists", the "Symphony of Crafty Guitarists" and the "Berlin Guitar Ensemble".

Andrew Foley

Ambient and abstract electronic artist from Brisbane, Australia utulising digital technologies to create vast and contorting soundscapes and beats.

Dual Dialect

Dual Dialect merges mutated saxophone lines, disintegrated beats, and abstract pads into a visceral, sonic experience.

Forming in 2025, the Meanjin duo features saxophone/woodwind player Andrew Garton (Ghostwoods, The Francis Wolves, The Scornful Four), alongside producer Andrew Foley (Grids/Units/Planes, YEARNS).

Together, their music combines glitchy, downbeat electronica with the fringes of jazz.

Dual Dialect’s first EP, Wild Plants Cover the Abandoned Nuclear Site, evokes a strange narrative. Saxophone melodies unfurl like strange vines and beats crumble like decaying concrete structures.
