Description
Acclaimed trumpeter-composer Tom Avgenicos presents Ghosts Between Streams, a bold exploration of the interplay between nature and urbanisation, performed by his innovative ensemble Delay 45, alongside the Ensemble Apex string quartet. The album, available through Earshift Music, is a cinematic convergence of chamber music, jazz, and electronic soundscapes, offering a rich and evocative listening experience. The live audiovisual work (a collaboration with Japanese-Australian contemporary dancer Reina Takeuchi and Filo-Australian Breaker Gerard 'Kid Tek' Cabellon) was awarded Best in Music and Best in Dance at the 2024 Sydney Fringe Festival.
Tom Avgenicos, based between Gadigal/Sydney and Muloobinba/Newcastle, is known for his exploratory and emotive creative practice. His distinctive improvisational style has made him a vital presence on Australia's creative music scene. In Ghosts Between Streams, Avgenicos delves into the complexities of community identity through the lens of his daily walks in Stringybark Creek, a nature reserve amidst high-density urban development on Cammerygal Country.
