Event Details
The vast collection of master multi-instrumentalist Adam Simmons comprises sopranino, soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, and bass saxophones, flute, piccolo, clarinet, bass clarinet and shakuhachi. The eclectic Melbourne-based composer/improviser performs frequently as a soloist and with his many groups including Origami and The Adam Simmons Toy Band. Bridging the gap between jazz, experimental and world music styles, Simmons is 'a player with an astonishing dynamic and tonal range' (Jessica Nichols, The Age). In their first collaboration, Clocked Out and Simmons pool their collection of toys, keyboards, found objects, reeds, flutes and percussion. The group presents new compositions and improvisations in an exploration of musical sleight of hand.
