Josh Shipton and Elsen Price

  • Woodlands Studio 22 Woodlands Road Ashbury, NSW, 2193 Australia (map)

Josh Shipton and Elsen Price perform a set of improvised music raising funds for Gaza.

Josh Shipton is one of Sydney's iconic performers. Starting in the 1990's, Josh has been a center piece of the Inner West experimental music community, with a myriad of collaborations, residencies and performances/recordings that are pivotal to the Sydney scene.
As a performer, Josh's experimental voice performance is legendary and completely unimitatable, audiences will often be inspired, challenged and educated between his guttural screams, masterful use of loops, high pitched melodic divergences and overall vocal-sonic landscape that envelopes the audience, whether its 5 people, or 500 people.
On top of this, Josh is a critically acclaimed singer-songwriter, booking agent/curator, modern conductor and mentor for many emerging local Sydney artists.

Elsen Price is a Sydney based double bassist, who as an experimental performer, has toured Australia, New Zealand, Czech Republic, the UK, Taiwan, Japan and India. With many recording releases, performances and collaborations, Elsen maintains a regular performance schedule with some of Australia and the world's unique musicians. Starting experimental performance in 2012, Elsen's early performances consisted of 5 hour solo improvised cafe improvisations, to later 8 hour street performances at the Rocks, to then performing at various festivals and events both locally and internationally.
Elsen's musical palette is broad as a double bassist, with a career as a professional classical, jazz and folk/commercial musician, Elsen uses the double bass in it's full breadth to create a versatile and dynamic performance. Elsen has also been invited to collaborate with some of the world's leading Persian, Arabic, Iraqi and Mongolian musicians.
