Neo Geodesia: Hypnotic melody, Extreme audio processing
Röntgen Rae: Dancing on the precipice of magic and science
Astral Engineering: ambient algorithmic indeterminacy.

Neo Geodesia is the recording name of Saphy Vong (born 1982), an experimental electronic music producer and composer born to Cambodian parents, raised in Nancy, France, and currently based in Brighton, UK. He is known for creating intricate electronic music that is characterised by its emphasis on melody and hypnotic pacing, conceptually stylised structures and extreme use of audio processing techniques.
Early incarnations of Neo Geodesia date back to the mid 2000s when performing under the moniker Lafidki. That project saw him begin using the stylistic forms of electronic and experimental music, combined with the structure and abrasiveness of noise music. He has released on Orange Milk records before founding Chinabot, a collective of Asian artists. In 2021 he released his LP ‘2562 Neon Flames’ on Chinabot, which focused heavily on experimental funeral compositions.
His work has been extensively presented in festivals and venues across the world such as the Tate Modern, Hyperdub night, Pitchfork Festival in London, Act Festival Asia Culture Center in Gwangju, Lost Music Festival in Parma, and Unsafe+Sounds Festival in Vienna.

Dancing on the precipice of magic and science, Roentgen Rae blends the sounds of medical imaging with folk, electronica and witchcraft. A bone faerie by day she uses her magic to help doctors see what needs to be healed, on stage she manifests that healing into ritual performance and dance.

Astral Engineering is an ambient music project employing algorithmic systems and indeterminacy in the production of layered sonic textures. Processed field recordings connect the chaos of the natural and mathematical worlds.
