This Tuesday features sets from Dobson/Kalait & Wayfinders Trio!

Jack Dobson and Dean Kalaitzidis present a set of exciting yet intimate interplay between the tenor saxophone and electric bass. Stemming from loose compositions acting as guidelines, they quickly break into free improvisation exploring the limits of each instrument's sound, and roles in the ensemble. The duo expand their already vast sound through the use of live audio manipulation tools, crafting a deep, exhilarating soundscape.

Each piece was written collaboratively, based on Jack and Dean's conversations about each other's lives, thoughts and feelings. They hope to share their music with you and look forward to seeing you there.

Wayfinders Trio:

Initially conceived as a research project for an Honours degree Wayfinders Trio is an ongoing exploration of group communication and connecgion through improvised music.
The name Wayfinders was inspired by the Wade Davis, Massey Lecture series, Why Ancient Wisdom Matters in the Modern World.

Wayfinders were the ancient Polynesian navigators who used the signs of nature to guide them on their sea journeys. Observations of the stars, the sun, ocean currents and reading the clouds replaced the need for a compass and a map.
It is this deep sense of touch and oneness with one’s environment that The Wayfinders Trio hope to communicate. Completely acoustic and committed to an improvising ethos, the group leans to the ritual of ceremonial music, where everyone involved has the opportunity to experience something completely personal and unique, yet share the experience with all.
