This new CD is a live recording of the complete version of my piece ‘Setting for “The Iliad”‘, based around excerpts of Peter Green’s translation of Homer’s epic. Different versions of this piece have appeared elsewhere; including an early live excerpt on ‘Lay Your High City Low’, and a studio version broadcast on Ears Have Ears last year, but this is your first chance to own the complete work itself.

Last month’s collaboration with Eamon Sprod was going to be my last Melbourne performance for a while, but an opportunity for a return bout of my improv duo with Paul Kidney is too good to refuse. We’ll be playing at Make It Up Club as part of night guest curated by Adam Gauci from Curse Ov Dialect.

Tuesday 12 September 2017, 9pm.

Make It Up Club, Bar Open (upstairs), 317 Brunswick St, Fitzroy.

Here’s some video of the first-time improvising trios that played at CURRENT 2015, last December at Cross Street. CURRENT is a roughly annual event organised by Ren Walters, built around new trios of improvisers. This instalment’s theme was young drummers matched with more…ahem…experienced players.
