A snapshot of the 2nd annual NOW now festival in Sydney, 2003 - excerpts comprises 13 pieces featuring Australia’s most committed improvisers and electronic musicians.

NCD002 ARTERY: JON ROSE . CHRIS ABRAHAMS . CLAYTON THOMAS Artery CD
“Violin, double bass, forte piano and harpsichord shouldn’t sound quite so evil. An hour of powerful string action from 3 of Australia’s most intense acoustic musicians - exploring the harmonic world that existed before equal temperament - Artery is a deep textural barrage of detail and quick fire communication. ”

NNcd003 GUT clare cooper, solo harp & guzheng 2003
CLARE COOPER Gut CD
“the perfect soundtrack to the satanic verses” john safran

“Amazing, subtly brain-dazzling set of improvisation across the harp and guzheng from this Australian lightbulb that references a bunch of previously articulated improvisatory tangents without nailing its colours to any particular tree. Moves from weird revenant ghost shapes through to huge fields of subtly-discharged vibration. Not often you hear a voice as startlingly new as this”

ORDER GUT ONLINE through METAMKINE http://metamkine.com/?monlabelrec=757

“A remarkable debut by sydney harpist Clare Cooper. Finding her influences in music as far afield as that of oren ambarchi, the necks and marilyn crispell, Clare has created an inpsired work. Gut is a patient, textural composition spread over 7 pieces using both the horizontal chinese harp - the Guzheng and the classical concert harp - she manages to avoid the cliche’s of both.”
