Sam Pankhurst, Ben Marks and Brodie McAllister are dedicated to pushing musical and conceptual boundaries through free improvisation.

In a meeting of Improvised, classical and printed traditions, “sOUNDS//iMAGES” is the coming together of music, art and people in a straight-to –the-point fashion. Where the music being played influences the score, and the score then influences the musical outcome. This is an acknowledgment of the moment-to-moment nature of art, and the immediacy of human response.

The improvisation will be guided by a graphic score, which will be collectively created by the audience and simultaneously interpreted by the musicians.

Samuel Pankhurst is a double bassist and musical jack-of-all-trades. His unique improvisational approach rings of western art music, jazz, rock and experimental practice. Sam is a member of The Marc Hannahford Trio, The Wild and Trouble with Templeton among many others.

Benjamin Marks is a freelance musician based in Brisbane. He is a member of the ELISION Ensemble and Specializes in the performance of contemporary music, including collaborations with visual artists and free improvisation. With ELISION, Marks has been involved in many projects involving Brian Ferneyhough, Richard Barrett, Aaron Cassidy, Klaus K Hu?bler and Timothy McCormack.

Brodie McAllister is a Brisbane based Trombonist/composer that deals with the blurring of lines between score and improvisation. Brodie has experience performing and composing in a variety of musical landscapes spanning from pop outfit Inigo through to ELISION Ensemble. He is a full-time member of The Jazzkill Bandits, BULLHORN and Ensemble Eigengrau.
