Jim Denley & Sonya Holowell + Waveteller

Sonya Holowell (voice) and Jim Denley (wind instruments) first started musicking together within Sydney's radically inclusive large scale improvising group, the Splinter Orchestra. Now they're playing at Stadium Rockdale. Sonya and Jim aren't sure what is going to happen, but both feel they become through these experiences of musicking with Country, and their dyad, their collective is deeply committed to finding new and primordial ways to join the eternally orchestrating sonoverse, and respond with musicking to Place.

An exploration of musical interplay, Waveteller plays music that draws heavily on rhythmic concepts and the elasticity of time, from fast paced energetic grooves, to open, vast melodies.

Bree van Reyk, Niki Johnson, Hayley Chan

Planks & Percussion: a series of works composed by three drummer/percussionists.

Inspired by found objects, knick-knacks, and planks of wood, performer-composers Bree van Reyk, Niki Johnson, and Hayley Chan unite to present three original compositions. Building on their debut performance of van Reyk’s A Series of States at the Art Gallery of NSW, their appearance at Local Edition deepens their exploration of guided improvisation, sonic environments, and evocations of the natural world—revealing the vast textures and terrains that can emerge from a percussion ensemble.
