Jazz and contemporary classic trio, Ephemera will showcase their unique and captivating musical exploration of celestial landscapes on Thursday 22 August at Ultimo jazz venue, Foundry616.

The evening will kick-off with an opening set by virtuoso saxophonist Nick Russoniello, who will present a layer-by-layer mash-up of musical influences from beatbox, reggae, and minimalism to polyphony and groove. 

Ephemera, led by Keyna Wilkins (piano/flute/compositions) with Elsen Price (double bass/loop pedal) and Will Gilbert (trumpet) will then perform pieces merging the sound worlds of jazz and contemporary classical, and set to real space sounds and projections. 

The performance includes freely improvised pieces, with NASA recordings of electromagnetic waves from planets and stars compiled 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 to create a distinctive sound world that organically reacts to stellar concepts – universe and universality.

The Sydney Morning Herald says, “Ephemera is always outward-reaching conceptually... The quartet can achieve a surprisingly orchestral sweep... music of peculiar depth and mystery that somehow evades the laws of gravity.”

Limelight Magazine described Ephemera’s most recent album as, “Terrific, rich, pulsating and reverberant... sophisticated and compelling... vivid and colourful.”

The Foundry616 doors will open at 6:30pm and the event will start at 8:30pm with Nick Russoniello before Ephemera begins at 9:30pm.
