About the MD

The Potted History of the Musical Dissidents is a platform for the obscure, homeless sound art-files that do not get a voice in Hobart. We play the obscure and the genreless soundbytes of bygone eras up to the present and the future, drawing links here and there in the art and music worlds.

Begun with the crunching track Two/Twelve, by the now since imploded mega-avant group Triosk, the MDs was started in December '08 by Joshua Santospirito, an experimental guitarist under the name of Drive West Today, frustrated at not having anything to bloody listen to that pushed the boundaries of modern day sounds. Hoping to create a new link in the sparse community of artists and sound sculptors across Australia, Santospirito's hopes to expand the scope of the show in the near future to include connections across the globe.

If you are a sound-artist or musician with a new slant on the world of noise then please send any material you'd like played to
