austraLYSIS

austraLYSIS returns to Jetsets with material new and old, freely ranging amongst ideas from Couperin, Ruggles, Dean and austraLYSIS itself. We’ll include some further developed versions of pieces on our Dualling album (Earshift, 2024), together with new works.

Our regulars Roger Dean, Sandy Evans, Phil Slater and Greg White comprise the line up.

The creative ensemble austraLYSIS (formed 1989) incorporates LYSIS, the former European contemporary music group, which commenced in 1970 in the UK. Both were founded by Roger Dean (double bass, keyboards, composer, computer interaction) and Hazel Smith (violin, text-creator). LYSIS was co-founded with John Wallace (trumpets, composer, who was co-director for the initial period), Ashley Brown (percussion), and Colin Lawson (clarinets). austraLYSIS has premiered, commissioned and/or created more than 200 musical compositions and new media works. It has appeared in most parts of the world (in more than 30 countries), including Europe, Asia, North America, and Australasia. It has made more than fifty commercial sound recordings, intermedia CD-Roms and works for radio, installations, and the web. Its broadcasts have been heard all over the world.

Jacques Emery (solo)

Jacques Emery: bowls, forks, strings

Tonight Jacques will present a subdued counterpart to the frenetic “GIANT SHIMMER” extended percussion/strings solo project.

Expect episodic encounters between tuning forks, singing bowls, radios, detuned guitars and other resonant bodies, constantly scattering and re-constructing, veering from the lucid to the hypnagogic.
