Sound Communities - FEMX 






FEMX is back for 2025 - our project supported by the Australian High Commission, with the goal to foreground non-male participation in the music and music technology space.

FEMX programming cross cuts the different elements of Kilele throughout the week, and involves several interactions. 



Jane Arnison - Speaker / Performer / Facilitator 


We are delighted to welcome back Jane Arnison to Kilele, after her transformative role at the 2024 edition. Following her visit in February, Jane has collaborated on numerous projects with Kilele participants ranging from mixing releases, reworking local drill legends Buruklyn Boyz, and mentorship roles with Kenyan producers.



Jane is a multi-disciplinary artist and technician. She divides her time between working on her own artistic projects, working commercially as a composer, engineer or producer as well as offering her expertise as a university lecturer in music.


Jane has finished writing a book on Mixing in Flow, due for release by Routledge/Taylor & Francis in early 2025. We’ll hear from her on this process as she shares key insights into the mixing process in an interactive session.


We’ll also bring back the track clinic sessions that were so popular in 2024, with producers booking slots to talk about their mixes in the Santuri Studio. Jane will also perform as a part of Mizizi Ensemble.

More about Jane 

Jane Arnison is a European based / Australian born composer, producer/engineer and sound artist. Her experience in working with music and sound traverses the popular and reaches out into the experimental. Her knowledge is grounded in a combination of studies in new music composition and her early practical experience as an engineer in commercial recording studios.

A duality of technical savvy in combination with a deep understanding of the inner workings of music has been Jane’s calling card throughout her career to date. Always interested in new opportunities and expressions Jane follows her instincts which has led her to a highly varied creative output.

Whether it is producing and engineering a record (Ostguton, Mord, !K7 Records, Human Level, Domino, Netwerk, Poker Flat, Sony), creating sound art installations (Julia Stocheck Gallery/ Michel Lamy), sound design for advertising, or mixing music in stereo or atmos;  the main thread that ties it all together is a fascination with sound as an expressive medium that drives all of Jane’s endeavours. This fascination and lust for knowledge around sound has meant a natural progression into education at universities throughout the world, opportunities for collaboration with music tech brands, educational initiatives and participation in conferences, workshops and festivals. Jane is actively working in the industry to address imbalances in gender in the music industry and creates intersectional feminist events to support the next generation of sound and music makers.
