Dystopia was formed in January 2000 when artist/poet Liz Maw and pianist Nigel B started collaborating together.
Shortly afterwards they were joined by Shinya Asakura, a sitar player from Tokyo and Shigeru Takato, a photographer, who provides the images for their live shows.
Their performances are a mixture of spoken word, ambient soundscapes, projections and theatre. Dystopia perform irregularly around Auckland and took part in the Melbourne Fringe Festival in 2001.
