Performing the music of David Chesworth and others, the David Chesworth Ensemble has forged its own musical path winning over audiences around the world with its unique, evocative music.
The eight piece David Chesworth Ensemble creates a vast soundscape of orchestral, exotic instruments and electronics in a feast of striking, scraping, blowing, shaking, pushing, pulling and plucking.
‘It’s an odd combination. The trombone blares, pianos rumble and the vibraphone plinks. Rousing themes are accompanied by a grumbling undertow or abruptly abandoned, while the piano bumbles like a bee at a windowpane. The net effect is strangely euphonious’. The Wire, UK
From his early experimental beginnings with seminal post-punk outfit Essendon Airport, David Chesworth has become one of Australia’s key composers and sound artists. His music has been performed and exhibited extensively in Australia and internationally. Major festivals include Ars Electronica, Festival D’Automne de Paris, Edinburgh Festival, Melbourne and Adelaide Festivals, Sydney Biennale, BAM Next Wave Festival, and Bang on a Can Marathon, New York.
Performers: David Chesworth electronics, Andrea Keeble violin, Helen Mountfort cello, John McAll piano, Simon Myers trombone, Peter Neville percussion, Eugene Ughetti percussion, Jeremy Alsop bass
