"Since 2017, the Audible Edge Festival has made itself into the west coast home for music that’s uncompromising, true to itself, excellent, and very odd. It specialises in concert programs that slide between styles and forms. We see no reason that adventurous music of all kinds can't hang in the same space. Free-funk orchestras with slap bass and saxophone cacophony. The sound of marking a footy. Tiny, delicate improvisations with cassettes and clarinets. Astounding piano virtuosity. Listening to ABBA playing out of a distant yacht. Some brutal, atrocious noise. Probably all on the same night - with a big dance afterwards."

"To rest, as wind stirs the flooded gum leaves" was a soundwalk through the Creary Wetlands with myself and musicians Josten Myburgh, Furchick, Aviva Endean and Jasmin Wing-Yin Leung. The walk explored creative listening to the environment with relaxed and open body and attention. The sounds of Creary Wetlands were gradually joined with the improvising and instrument-building practices of the four musicians.
For the 2022 Audible Edge Festival I also performed a trio with Jo Pollit and Tess Crow / CRONES - see w e a t h e r v e i n.
