Nowadays, all your favorite music is just a few taps away. But back in the day, people required sizable appliances, plus physical copies of an album or song they wished to play. This meant you needed specific devices that could play them, as well as storage for one’s music collection. Drawing from these retro pieces of furniture from the 70s and 80s, audiovisual artist and woodworker Love Hultén created his own version of a music-playing machine that doubles as a music storage stand.

We are sisters, Julia and Anastasia Vanderbyl. A few years ago, we began a journey to live a life in perfect harmony with nature. A life of caring for animals, growing fruit, planting trees, gardening, cooking, creating, building and learning to live with the land.
In this time, nature has taught us more than we could have ever imagined.
Our environmental films document the landscape, the lessons we’ve learnt and our work as regenerative farmers here on Bundjalung Country.
We live on the land of the Arakwal and Minjungbal People of the Bundjalung Nation. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Country we live on and recognise their continuing connection to the land and waters. We thank them for protecting this rainforest and its ecosystems since time immemorial.
