Stasis, flux and stamina: saxophonist Adam Page can improvise for 24-hours non-stop


Listen Later

Saxophonist, composer, improviser and master looper, Adam Page, has brought a bunch of looping pedals and instruments into our Adelaide studio to show us how he builds layers of music on the fly. Adam's just finished a run performing a live improvised score for Australian Dance Theatre’s A Quiet Language, which sampled percussive sounds captured by the dancers' bodies in rehearsal. He’s also working on a PhD exploring new techniques for improvisational looping, and occasionally undertakes ‘durational performances’, like the 24-hour non-stop solo improvisation he did in front of a live audience a few years back.

Adam Page performs a 12-hour show on 16 August at The Lab in Adelaide. Sign up for details here.

Solomon Islands singer, songwriter, and panpipe player Chris Kamu’ana Rohoimae is the latest winner of the ABC’s Pacific Break competition. Ce Benedict sat down with him after his WOMADelaide set to talk about how he is honouring his late father, a pipe master himself, through his music.

Chris Kamu’ana Rohoimae is releasing a new EP soon. Keep up to date with him here
