For Jetsets #4 we're bringing you some of the Sydney's most innovative and mind-blowing improvisers!

Germ Studies

Germ Studies is the inspired pairing of pianist Chris Abrahams, and harpist Clare Cooper – but if you're expecting a harmonic polyphony of harp and piano you'll be shocked by the alien landscapes crafted on DX7 synthesizer and guzheng (Chinese zither).

"fascinating ... pieces flit to life like mating cells, making skewed, surprise lurches and appearing generally feverish throughout. The interplay between artists is never less than enthralling, their actions raw, revealing, …a ceaseless procession of sounds veering off in all directions." CYCLIC DEFROST

He has performed solo in a variety of contexts, from backyard DIY events, to concert halls and churches, to opening for Bristol experimental duo Giant Swan. Last year, Charlie released his debut solo project Trust in the Long Decay which was compiled from various recording sessions at the Middle Head forts.
