HINTERLANDT: International Women’s Jazz Festival

Since Hinterlandt grew from a solo project into an ensemble, the majority of band members have been female. Now we’ve been invited to play at SIMA’s International Women’s Jazz Festival. In addition to this Sydney show we’ll play in Katoomba, Tomerong and Canberra to road-test some new material and to introduce violinist, Isabel Tzorbatzaki.

STILL: Soundtrack on Oxtail Records

Still is an audio-visual project based on photos of the same patch of sky I took for 100 consecutive days, at 8am every morning. At the same time I composed a soundtrack to match the meditative atmosphere of the photographic project. The collage grid was shown in Head on Photo Festival, the soundtrack was released on Oxtail Records. The 100 photos can be viewed in this online gallery. I’ll also be playing a few solo shows to support the release:

SNOB CLUB: Bremen, Berlin, Frankfurt

My instrumental trio SNOB CLUB has a short tour coming up in Germany. These shows are always intense and cathartic. It’s been a while because my co-musicians and I don’t live in the same country, and international travel to/from Australia was out of the question for more than two years. We last toured in 2019, then had another tour booked in 2020 which was cancelled. Anyway, this time it’s happening.

All shows supported by Krälfe
