The Splinter Orchestra is a large-scale electro-acoustic improvising ensemble based in Sydney, Australia. Formed in 2002, the group currently comprises of 30+ members. It is one of the few groups of its kind in Australia and internationally, bringing together musicians from various musical backgrounds to combine and collaborate on equal terms. Made up of individuals from the improvised music, jazz and classical scenes, electronic musicians, sound artists and those who are involved in environmental sound and field recording, the Splinter Orchestra creates a stark minimalism despite their large number – without any leaders or conductors.


BLUE DIVERS is the NSW continuation of enigmatic Melbourne group Hot Palms - a loose and always changing ensemble of musicians playing, for the most part, longform instrumental and ambient psych/new age with guitar, synths and percussion. 

THE ILLAWARRA LINE is the new solo synth project of Jack Saltmiras
