Genre-defying Melbourne band Glasfrosch celebrate the 50th year of Terry Riley’s seminal minimalist work In C with a diverse assembly of over 20 of Melbourne’s finest musicians from jazz, indie pop, metal, and contemporary classical backgrounds. Some of the guests include Adam Simmons, Jennifer Kingwell, Nat Grant, Susan Gamble (The Spheres), Casey Hartnett (Sleep Decade), Aviva Endean (Barons of Tang), Daimon Brunton, Ryan McRobb, William Elm, Matt Bush, and more. Composed in 1964, In C has become one of the most performed works of contemporary music, and has been released on over 30 albums. Glasfrosch present the piece as an electroacoustic, audiovisual sound and light party of intense polyrhythmic texture and colour in the fabulous Howler band room. In addition to In C, Glasfrosch will also debut an original minimalist work as a dedication to the continuing legacy of the minimalist movement. Composed for the forthcoming Glasfrosch LP, Nocturnes, the new work celebrates the group’s minimalist influences from Satie, to Riley, Reich, Young, and Eno. The new work will open the show, performed by Glasfrosch as a trio and featuring new visuals by TAM Projects, followed by the large ensemble main set of In C.
