Chan/Fujisaki/Turner
Hayley Chan and Hinano Fujisaki are among Sydney’s most talented and in demand young musicians. David Turner is not.
Hayley is the first (and presumably still the only) person to have graduated from the Sydney Conservatorium drum set program with Honours. Hinano is the inaugural (and certainly still the only) recipient of the Judy Bailey Emerging Composer Scholarship. If prizes were awarded for musical activities conducted below the radar, David might be in line for a nomination.
Nevertheless, Hayley, Hinano and David will come together at Sydney's best, Stadium Rockdale, for their very first performance together.
Who knows what will happen...but one thing is for certain, the evening will be full of mystery, magic and surprises. By all means come along and share the experience.
Hayley Chan – drums
Hinano Fujisaki – tenor saxophone
David Turner - guitar
Maddy Briggs & Ben Lopes
Ben Lopes is a composer, songwriter, artist and graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. His multifaceted practice, spanning from punk rock to the avant-garde, culminates in a unique and richly-textural approach to music that pushes and blurs the boundaries of any genre that he approaches. He uses controlled variables and functions of chance to create worlds of sound that possess a naturalness, a quality that is inspired by the elegance of earthly processes. He is a founding member of @Chaoscollective.official , an experimental performer/composer collaborative network that aims to platform emerging art music and reconstruct the relationship between audience and musicians through performance, with keen consideration to performance space and audience agency.
Maddy Briggs is an electroacoustic musician, screen composer and instrumentalist based in Sydney. A graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, her practice centres upon the digital elaboration and explosion of acoustic instruments, weaved together into textural, ambient soundscapes. She performs on electric bass in new music ensemble @Chaoscollective.official. Her work has been performed at 2019 VIVID Sydney, MUSLAB’s 2024 International Electroacoustic Music Festival, and has been aired on SBS On Demand, BBC Music 6 and the Classical: NEXT-longlisted HiberNATION Festival.
