The Necks are an experimental jazz trio from Sydney, comprising Chris Abrahams on piano and Hammond organ, Tony Buck on drums, percussion and electric guitar, and Lloyd Swanton on bass guitar and double bass. The band, who are also well known in Europe, play improvisational pieces of up to an hour in length that explore the development and demise of repeating musical figures.
Typically a live performance will begin very quietly with one of the musicians playing a simple figure. One by one, the other two will join with their own contributions—all three players independent yet intertwined. As the 'piece' builds through subtle micro-changes, the interaction of their instruments creates layers of harmonics and prismatic washes of sound that lead some to apply the genre label 'trance jazz'. Their live performances can be challenging for those expecting a conventional musical experience.
Their soundtrack for The Boys (1998) was nominated for ARIA Best Soundtrack Album, AFI Best Musical Score and Australian Guild of Screen Composers Award. They have also recorded soundtracks for What's The Deal? (1997) and In the Mind of the Architect (three one-hour ABC-TV documentaries, 2000).
Albums of recorded music were developed in the early 20th century, first as books of individual 78rpm records, then from 1948 as vinyl LP records played at 33 1⁄3 rpm. Vinyl LPs are still issued, though in the 21st century albums sales have mostly focused on compact disc (CD) and MP3 formats. The audio cassette was a format used in the late 1970s through to the 1990s alongside vinyl.
An album may be recorded in a recording studio (fixed or mobile), in a concert venue, at home, in the field, or a mix of places. Recording may take a few hours to several years to complete, usually in several takes with different parts recorded separately, and then brought or "mixed" together. Recordings that are done in one take without overdubbing are termed "live", even when done in a studio. Studios are built to absorb sound, eliminating reverberation, so as to assist in mixing different takes; other locations, such as concert venues and some "live rooms", allow for reverberation, which creates a "live" sound. The majority of studio recordings contain an abundance of editing, sound effects, voice adjustments, etc. With modern recording technology, musicians can be recorded in separate rooms or at separate times while listening to the other parts using headphones; with each part recorded as a separate track.

The Necks - Open (2013) Chris Abrahams: piano Tony Buck: Drums Lloyd Swanton: bass Review from all aboutjazz.com: Listening to a recording by the Australian trio The Necks is akin to over- hearing a conversation between two giant sequoia trees. While humans might not perceive the growth and movement of the trees, mom and pop Sequoiadendron giganteum might comment, "Little Billy sure has sprouted up these past 400 years, he's outgrown all his school clothes, again!" Open is the 17th album by pianist Chris Abrahams, drummer Tony Buck and bassist Lloyd Swanton. The band returns to their modus operandi, like their initial 1989 recording Sex (Private Music, 1995). Playing one long meditative piece (68 minutes), the trio utilizes slight and subtle changes, plus a pulse that could only be des...

It’s hard to pinpoint how The Necks sound because they sound like nothing and everything all at once. Their minimalistic, repetitive improvisation with piano, drums and bass sounds like it's coming from one single, new never-heard-before instrument. The Necks can be delicately quiet where the slightest contact between a drumstick and a cymbal will take the music in a totally new direction, and they can come at you loud and fierce. They are a very rare musical experience. This concert was filmed at Jazzhouse in Copenhagen and The Necks perform a piece called “Ohioan”.

Piano: Chris Abrahams Bass: Lloyd Swanton Drums: Tony Buck Live on Australian Broadcasting Corporation's (ABC) Set. Broadcast at 10:00pm, Tuesday 2/05/2006. "The Necks are one of the great Australian underground acts. With Chris Abrahams on piano, Tony Buck on drums, and Lloyd Swanton on bass, they’ve produced 12 critically acclaimed, highly successful albums that have sold in the thousands, all with a minimum of publicity and mainstream media support. In 1998 their evocative soundtrack for Rowan Woods’ The Boys was nominated for Best Musical Score at both the AFI Awards and Australian Guild of Screen Composers Awards and in 2004 their 11th album, Drive-by, received the Aria for best jazz release. Decidedly difficult to pigeon-hole, The Necks inhabit a space somewhere between minimali...
The Necks (pianist Chris Abrahamson, bassist Lloyd Swanton and drummer Tony Buck) perform live @ Jazzhouse in Copenhagen, Denmark on October 9th, 2014. The video is the second half of a 50 minute improvisation. The entire two set concert was also being filmed on pro equipment for a future release.
Celebrating their 30th anniversary in 2016, The Necks offer a phenomenal musical experience, unlike any piano trio you may have heard. Masters of their own musical language of long-form improvisation, each night they step onto the stage with no pre-conceived ideas of what they will play – they and the audience will go on a sonic journey that is created in the moment and in that room. Every Necks' performance is a singular event, 2 sets of approximately 45 minutes, entirely improvised and working with the acoustics of the room.

APTV Correspondent Corey Graves talked to Ben Barlow of Neck Deep in the Gibson Artist Lounge at the 2015 APMAs. Ben presented the award for Best Vocalist to Hayley Williams at the ceremony, cracking a light joke about how he should've won the award. He's got Corey's vote for Best Presenter! Neck Deep is on Warped right now, and have a brand new album releasing shortly. You can pick up Life's Not Out To Get You on August 14. No pressure, though: "I don't want to focus too much on trying to push an album; if people like it, then they'll like it," says Ben. We also got to hear a little bit about what Ben was wearing.
