“Steady State” LP out now

| cdgsham

“Steady State” is my third album with Barnaby Oliver, part of a long association extending back to Barnaby’s “Wall of E” guitar orchestra in 2005. This album’s origin goes back to a concert we played in August 2022 at Melbourne’s Tempo Rubato. That concert was in itself the culmination of several year’s focus on developing a minimalist yet subtly expansive musical dialogue centred around my bowing of heavy aluminium bowls, with Barnaby playing various instruments including violin, bowed banjo and piano.

Playing acoustically in that space, with the 102-key Stuart & Sons grand concert piano for one piece, encouraged us to return to the venue one Sunday morning a couple of months later to record the same two pieces from our concert. We recorded them with the vision of two vinyl sides in mind, and finally they see the light of day here on “Steady State”. – Clinton Green

Out now on a limited edition of 100 copies, or available digitally on most platforms including Bandcamp

Yarrow reviewed

| cdgsham

“I can imagine a strong tactile presence here, of four hands rubbing surfaces with some kind of amplification. Other electronics, such as sound effects, are kept to a minimum, if there is a need for them at all. The first eight or so minutes of the music have a somewhat improvised feel, and maybe the whole cassette has, but from that moment on, the music gains a fine density, with multiple sounds rolling over and about, adding more bottom end to the music. This continues on the live recording, which I think is even stronger, mainly because here the two stay on a course they started, right until the finish. The music has something very mysterious with all this low-end rumbling, almost like a horror movie. There is excellent interaction between the two players on this cassette” – Vital Weekly 1493

Three copies left on Bandcamp or purchase the digital version.

Yarrow cassette/digital out now

| cdgsham

For a few years now, Allanah Stewart have been playing music together, mostly privately, with occasional live excursions (only once as a duo, and another time with Michael McNab). Our debut release YARROW is out now. There is a limited run of 30 cassettes, cradled in gorgeous packaging that has been handmade by Allanah (handsewn pouches with pressed botanicals encased inside). Now, more than half of these are already gone in pre-orders, so if you’d like one please don’t hesitate. We will also keep a handful aside for our launch gig next week (see below). Or you can purchase the digital version on Bandcamp.

And next Thursday (7 August 2025), we launch YARROW at Dimensions of Incomprehensibilities (at Merri Creek Tavern, 113 High St, Northcote). Also playing is Jessica Aszodi/Lizzy Welsh, and Tom Kazas.
