Soft Soft Loud: fused

11 March 2010

With a progressive approach to music making, fused have established their position within the musical landscape as a truly unique hybrid ensemble.

Combining cello, piano, saxophone and percussion, fused play with a depth and precision that is contemporary and unique.

Drawing influence from a myriad of musical genres and styles, fused are also inspired by working with guest artists. In 2010 fused welcome vocalist Natalie Gillespie and percussionist Callum Moncrieff to Soft Soft Loud for an evening of innovation and collaboration.

Program includes works by:

King Crimson; the archetypal 70’s fusion rock band, founded by Robert Fripp, that drew on jazz, classical, experimental, psychedelic rock and folk music.
Pat Metheny; acclaimed contemporary US jazz guitarist and composer who encompasses progressive jazz, post-bop, Latin and jazz fusion.
Mace Francis; WA big band composer and musician.
