O//F 

In 2013 Andrew Fedorovitch & Tony Osborne were playing together with Splinter Orchestra when they formed O//F as an independent duet practice.

What they discovered was a mutual fascination with acoustic phenomena which led to the creation of strategies that would emphasise certain sonic events within the pieces they were playing.

They recorded in a studio, and sought out spaces within which the nature of the music was enhanced, such as in the church at Rydal near Lithgow NSW and in & around a St. Peters toilet block for the 2014 NOW now Festival!

As time passed and after many hours of development, an intuitive language evolved between Andrew and Tony and this is the basis of O//F’s work today. In 2014 Andrew moved to Berlin and O//F played & recorded at Studio 8 in Wedding. After Andrew’s return to Australia more recordings were made with Jim Denley at Tempe Jets.

Gill/Turner/Egami/Raymond

This performance brings together three musicians who have experience of playing together as members of the Splinter Orchestra with Freedman Jazz fellow (and former Splinter Orchestra member) Sam Gill. They will form a never before seen or heard quartet through the magic of spontaneous improvisation.

How Sam's saxophones will mix with Mari and David's string textures and Daniel's distinctive drum kit style will unfold in the moment of the performance. Come along and see and hear the process at work.

• Mari Egami - prepared piano

• Sam Gill - saxophones

• Daniel Raymond - drums

• David Turner - guitar

Come and misbehave. Art isn’t comfortable here — and neither, probably, are you. That’s exactly the point.
