Doors @ 7pm, Adrian Klumpes @ 8pm, Interval @ 8.50pm, Band Of 5 Names @ 9.20pm
Adrian plays exquisitely beautiful, yet thoughtful and haunting music. Known for his performances with Triosk, as a solo artist Adrian explores sounds and space in a moving and memorable way. Truly a unique talent for our time.“The piano is surrounded by sweeping and swooping rushes of metallic scything, needling stutters and trebly sustains. The title track plays with reverberant space, exaggerating the piano’s interior presence as Klumpes sets out his cyclic patterns. The suspended clusters of the extended “Unrest” make a harmonious ascendance; the brief “Why” comes as an immediate shock, with its ratcheting spurts, all internal resonance, with little left of the actual notes. The cumulative swells of “Give In” recall Robert Fripp and Brian Eno’s collaborations; and the concluding “Passing Pain” once again returns to those familiar arpeggio accumulations, nurturing an enjoyable sense of flotation.” MARTIN LONGLEY - THE WIRE
Band of 5 Names: Phil Slater – trumpet | Simon Barker – drums | Matt McMahon - piano
Dream like piano sequences, overlaid with haunting trumpet, evocative and unearthly.
This group is at the cutting edge of improvised music, highly original it takes music in new directions.
Featuring three of Australia’s finest musicians, Band of 5 Names “..strikingly fresh and original, the playing beautifully judged by all four musicians. They allow the music to unfold without wasting any energy proving how many notes they can play.” Adrian Jackson, Rhythms Magazine
The music is dreamily minimalist, introspective and mostly tensionless, consisting of textured layers of sound. An important component is Slater’s laptop, used to produce a mysterious ambience that is overlaid by ethereal trumpet and the meditative keyboards of Matt McMahon plus Simon Barker’s percussive effects.
Rarely seen in Sydney, as this music demands the right performance space. Don’t miss this opportunity to catch Band of 5 Names .
