10th November 2025 - Julius Schwing (TAS) // Alex Raupach & Jack Rosenzweig

Julius Schwing (TAS)

Julius Schwing - solo guitar

Julius Schwing is an improvising guitarist and composer from Bruny Island, Lutruwita/Tasmania. Born in Vienna, he started playing guitar at age nine and since the age of thirteen has performed extensively throughout Australia and internationally. He has three times been nominated for the Freedman Jazz Fellowship and placed 3rd in the 2022 National Jazz Awards. In 2023 Julius was awarded a state luminary APRA/AMCOS Art Music Award. He has released 10 albums, 9 of which are on his own creative music label Isthmus Music. Julius’s distinct improvising style and compositions are heavily influenced by the dramatic natural surroundings of his home on Bruny Island and a life lived in constant contact with this environment.

“Radiant and airy, gnarled and knotty, meditative and hypnotic” Des Cowley - Rhythms Magazine

“..mind bending solo acoustic guitar...as good or better than anyone I’ve ever heard” - Warmth Highest

Alex Raupach & Jack Rosenzweig

REVELATOR is Alex Raupach playing piano and Jack Rosenzweig playing drums.

The defiantly low-fi duo insists on music that speaks for itself rather than being spoken about. Their first recording was made on their first time playing together, lovingly enriched from voice memo mp4 by the mastering of Theo Carbo. The pieces, without discussion in advance, slowly unfold as compositional questions and answers – a patchwork dreamscape of rhythms that dance in unfamiliar ways, chords that hit the heart by surprise, and music that tells itself like a story.
