Australian Music Centre | Breaking sound barriers

Event Details

What happens when a drum kit legend gets together with one of Australia’s most inventive bands? Find out at The Arts Centre Gold Coast when Topology and Grant Collins perform together, racing you through a musical journey of infectiously new grooves and into a realm of uncharted musical territory. Grant Collins, known worldwide for his wildly polyrhythmic chops, gets together with the strings, sax and piano of Topology to find the musical jewels in math core, break beat warping, Latin jazz and South Indian rhythm languages. Together these pieces are stirred and shaken into a cocktail of musical delights like you’ve never witnessed before. With their instruments and talent combined, Topology and Grant Collins will explode onto the stage with the fearsome energy of Grant’s original compositions and Topology’s intense mix of strings, sax and piano. Grant’s oversized kit allows him to take an orchestral approach to drumming and the layering multiple hues in with the resonances of Topology’s acoustic colours. Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to see some of Brisbane’s most talented artists together on stage creating, blending and fusing their musical genius as they combine a number of unexpected tunes and instruments to achieve stunning results.

Performers: Topology: Rob Davidson, Christa Powell, John Babbage, Bernard Hoey, Kylie Davidson. with Grant Collins on drums!
