Jim Denley + Daniel Raymond Duo
Jim Denley (saxophone) was born in Bulli (Dharawal Country); Dan Raymond (drums) in Camperdown (Gadigal). They have been meeting the last few weeks in Rockdale (Gweagal) to play. It feels to them like a duo where a reciprocal harmolodicy is found for drumming and percussivity explored within saxophony. But that would be too simple and suggests something predetermined; truthfully they are not sure what it will be, the duo is too new to have any idea what it will be. And they like that.

Dismal Co.
Dismal Co are Romy Caen and Peter Farrar. They make a globular amorphous sound blob world with artifacts of remnants of a once-failed attempt at dance music. Dismal Co play diy electronic sound-making devices as well as the more standard drum machines and key boards.

JAG
Gabriella, Jacques and Alex improvise and play Gabriella's compositions. The music explores a range of sonic possibilities including textural densities, tension at different volumes and timbral combinations. Melodies and rhythmic archetypes are used as platforms for improvisation.
