Sydney-based musician, engineer, composer and producer, Miles Thomas presents their new work You Are Here - guided improvisations for sextet.
Miles Thomas is one of Australia’s first call session musicians, from an orchestra, singer songwriter, jazz ensemble, modern improvised music, to a punk band.
This versatility has come from working in the studio from the age of 15, both as a studio drummer and a recording engineer. This ability to be “both sides of the glass” has given an enormous amount of experience playing and tweaking sounds to get it “just right” for the given work.
“I want to explore the edge of improvisation and composition. I call this guided improvisation. This ensemble is the perfect vehicle for that. These are incredible, creative and open musicians”
