CURRENT 2016 video

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.

I joined Myfanwy Hunter and Zeke Ruckman for my trio, which is the last trio in the video from about 10:25.

Performance with Eamon Sprod this Saturday afternoon

housekeeping

I’m looking forward to collaborating with Eamon Sprod (AKA Tarab) for the first time, in the closing performance for his Housekeeping installation.

This will likely be my last performance in Melbourne for a few months.

Clinton Green and Eamon Sprod will perform with the amassed objects, turntable and speakers / transducers of Housekeeping, both reconfiguring and dismantling the installation to create an intimate and immersive sound space.

Saturday 19 August, 5-6pm
Blindside Gallery, Nicholson Building, Level 7, Room 14, 37 Swanston St, Melbourne.
Free entry.
