Brad Gill is a composer, percussionist and co-artistic director of the composer-performer collective Sideband as well as member of the experimental improvisation project 'Mind on Fire' and the Dreambox Collective. He began serious musical studies with a focus on xylophone and percussion, later developing an interest in composition, which he explored while a student at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music (Honours degree and Ph.D.) and University of Western Australia. He has also seriously studied Javanese Gamelan and North Indian Tabla and jazz improvisation. Current focusses are projects incorporating collective exploratory improvisation and intersections with non-Western music traditions and building and developing creative collaborations with like-minded artists. His personal composition and vibraphone approaches are grounded in and extensions of Chan practice.
