Kanyakumari: Trevor Brown / Mary Rapp / Alexander Inman-Hislop

I'm excited to bring these two amazing artists together with myself on the stage of the Annandale Creative Arts Centre.

Kanyakumari - on the southern tip of India, is the only place in the world where three seas meet, the Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, and the Bay of Bengal.
Not so much a project name, but a meditation point, describing what Mary and Alexander bring, like Italo Calvino's Blood, Sea - each encapsulating an enormous ocean of sound, creativity and experience.
Trevor Brown

Trevor Brown is a freelance producer, composer, sound designer, curator, and radio presenter who works across several artistic and cultural fields and disciplines and has more than thirty five years of professional experience in the international arena from symphony orchestra to outback circus.

Perpetually curious, Mary Rapp has spent 20 years studying and performing all kinds of music. She started in classical cello, moved on to jazz double bass, became obsessed with improvisational constructs, moved to Korea to study p’ansori singing, and just recently finished a doctorate for which she combined acoustics science and improvised music. This background informs her cello playing which features hypnotic, dream-like soundscapes, and no holds barred improvisation.

Alexander Inman-Hislop is a multi-ARIA nominated drummer and composer. He is one of the co-founders of neo-instrumental group jetrio. In 2021 he was nominated for the prestigious Freedman Fellowship Award for Jazz Artists and was shortlisted in the 2018 Wangaratta National Jazz Awards. Alongside his performing career he holds a position at the University of Sydney’s Conservatorium of Music as a Casual Lecturer in Jazz and Drumset Performance.
Alexander is a member of several prominent jazz configurations including the Zela Margossian Quintet, Hilary Geddes Quartet, Hamed Sadeghi’s Project Masnavi and has worked alongside national and international luminaries such as Jay Rodriguez (USA), Barney McAll, Cameron Undy, Janet Seidel and many more.
