Spill is the Berlin-based duo of Meredith Maloney* on piano and clavinet and Tony Buck on drums/percussion. Formed in 2002. They have, to date released 5 albums as the duo and have collaborated with John Butcher as the group Vellum on the releases PLUME and GLINTS, as well as with American bassist Damon Smith on the CD SPILL PLUS (on the Nuscope label).
Their new 2023 release MYCELIUM sees SPILL continuing their relationship with Corvo records. In many ways this new record continues and furthers areas developed on the previous release, dealing with layering, processing and contrasting acoustic spaces.

SPILL ‘..wove an abstract matrix of bold sound particles and microstructures in which intuition and precision were concentrated” Pirmin Bossart - Luzerner Zeitung (Switzerland)

“.This duo is one of those rare groups where not only is the instrumentation perfectly matched, but the style with which the musicians approach their instruments is so personal that it's astonishing how well it all comes together." Andrew Choate (USA)

“Harmonics seeped from all that they struck, scraped and wrung out producing a luscious ebb and flow of complex layers. Lost in the evocations of this piece…I lost track of instrument identity sometimes and had to look back at the stage to understand exactly what was creating these sounds so full of cadence, resonance and melody.” Realtime Magazine (Australia).

SPILL “..made it look free and easy, but these two virtuosos are at the top of their game,
Tony Osborne (Australia)

O//F - Tony and Andrew have been working together for the last decade developing and exploring a unique language of simple structures and extended technique which clears the way for playing with the sometimes chaotic textures and multiplicities of harmonics and combination tones. Tony and Andrew use the voice and saxophone, respectively, without any electronic interventions.
