"Full of sonic textures and infinite possibility, this is one of the true concept albums of recent years." Jazz and Beyond
Join us in the intimate and quaint setting of The Newsagency (Annandale) for a night of SPACE JAZZ!
Ephemera: a musical exploration of celestial landscapes such as pulsars, craters, planetary atmospheres, stars, sun and void. Merging the sound worlds of jazz and contemporary classical, and set to real space sounds and space projections, it is a unique sonic and visual experience.
The ensemble is led by Keyna Wilkins: Composer/Musician (piano/flute/compositions) with Elsen Price - Australian Double Bassist (double bass/loop pedal), Will Gilbert (trumpet) and Carl St. Jacques (viola) and includes freely improvised pieces. NASA recordings of electromagnetic waves from planets and stars is the backdrop soundtrack and has been complied by astronomer Professor Paul Francis often with projections of space probe footage. Each member brings their own unique voice to the ensemble drawing from a multitude of musical backgrounds who combine to create a distinctive sound world that organically react to stellar concepts. Universe and Universality.
Formed in 2015, this ensemble have had a series of successful shows around Sydney (Seymour Centre, Venue 505, Foundry) including being featured in Extended Play Festival of New Music at City Recital Hall in 2018 and Sydney International Womens' Jazz Festival in 2017.
