The Polymorphic Orkestra is an electro acoustic art music ensemble that produces improvised music using a mix of traditional instruments, media technology, audio FX and pre recorded audio stem data. Although their music is free in form, it is not overtly atonal. Their music is rhythmic and melodic and constructed during performance requiring a great deal of inter-ensemble focus and musical awareness. Each performance is a journey with no set pieces or tunes as such. The ensemble members are, Ed Goyer - Vibraphone, Mallet Kat, Percussion, Ed Rodrigues - Drums, iPad, Midi Guitar, Audio samples, Percussion, Lee McIver - Trumpet, Flugelhorn, Laptop, FX, Audio data. Polymorphic Orchestra have released two CD’s (Acumulus & Confluence) to much acclaim and recently recorded material for their third album Shadowland to be release July 2019. Polymorphic have performed a number of times at SIMA, Foundry 616, Kinetic Jazz, Lazy Bones, SICKO and in Melbourne for the Melbourne Jazz Co-op as well as concert performances at Darling Quarter Theatre (Sounds of Now) and at the NIDA Studio (Confluence CD Launch).
