Alister Spence<\/strong> and Tony Buck<\/strong> are two endlessly curious, deeply committed distinctive, improvisers. They share a fascination with submerged rhythm, oblique extended forms, entwined interplay, and sound for its own sake. As contemporaries their musical histories have run in parallel\u2014and occasionally intersecting\u2014for the last thirty years.<\/p>\n

The duo\u2019s debut release, Mythographer<\/em><\/a> (ASM013) was listed in the \u2018Best Albums of 2023\u2019<\/strong> by the New York City Jazz Record (January 2024 edition).<\/p>\n

Both musicians bring a wealth of musical experience, offering each other the opportunity to dig deep into their vocabularies in order to engage in genuine, interactive dialogue. Whether playing wide-ranging abstract improvisations, swinging driving pieces, or more reflective soundscapes the pair manage to find focus and form wherever the music takes them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Over more than 30 years Alister Spence<\/strong> has established a reputation as a pre-eminent creative force as pianist and composer in jazz and improvised music in Australia and internationally. He has recorded and toured numerous times with the Alister Spence Trio featuring Lloyd Swanton (the Necks), and Toby Hall. In 2020 the trio joined with rock electric guitarist Ed Kuepper (The Saints, The Laughing Clowns) to form Asteroid Ekosystem. Spence also tours and records regularly with Satoko Fujii (Japan), Raymond MacDonald (Scotland), and Joe Williamson and Christopher Cantillo (Sweden). Past recordings and tours include with Myra Melford (US), The Australian Art Orchestra, and Clarion Fracture Zone. Albums released with these collaborators have received numerous awards and are frequently reviewed and mentioned in \u2018Best Of\u2019 lists in magazines and blogs such as The Wire (UK), New York City Jazz Record (US), Jazzwise (UK), Jazz Forum (Poland), Music Magazine (Japan).<\/p>\n

Tony Buck<\/strong>, regarded as one of Australia’s most creative and adventurous exports, with vast experience across the globe, he is involved in a highly diverse array of projects but is probably best known as a member of the trio The Necks. Past collaborations include: Brian Eno: Ilan Volkov, David Sylvian, John Surman, Lee Renaldo, Underworld, Swans, and The Ex, to name a few.

Finissage: Feldspate<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Feldspate\u2019 ist eine gemeinsam von Stephanie Geiger, Vinzenz Schwab<\/strong> und FM Einheit <\/strong>entwickelte begehbare Klangskulptur. \u2028\u2028Aus schwebenden textilen Objekten erklingt bruchst\u00fcckhaft eine Mehrkanalkomposition, entstanden aus elektronisch verfremdeten Ger\u00e4uschen aus K\u00fcchen und Werkst\u00e4tten. \u2028\u2028Die Klangquellen – bespielte Alltagsgegenst\u00e4nde wie Metallfedern, Bleche, Schrauben, Muttern, Holz, sowie Ger\u00e4usche des Kochens einer Pasta Bolognese – sind durch die Bearbeitung nicht mehr ausmachbar, \u00fcbrig bleibt Musik.<\/p>\n
