This week at MIUC is another illustration that meaningful engagement
with the traditional roots of free jazz and post-classical improv is
still applicable, enjoyable, and evolving with every passing year and
emerging generation of music makers (and that Melbourne aint a half-bad
place to be circa 2013). Petrichor is a term coined by
two Australian scientific journalists to describe the aroma that
accompanies the first rain after a long warm dry spell; Petrichor wield
strings and flute to aurally evoke the sensations that accompany said
scent. The great clash of Rhodes occurs, brandished by Joe O'Connor and James Bowers,
facing off with hammers, metal prongs and electromagnetic pickups in an
ethereal duo of shimmering intensity. And prolific young jazz (etc).
masters Marty Holoubek and Brenton Foster
make their Make It Up debut to make up what they think a unique section
of space-time flow should sound like, expressed via the universal
language of bass and keys.
