Anthony Pateras is an Australian composer, pianist and electronic musician who occasionally crosses the Ditch. He works across many contexts: modern classical, acousmatic diffusion, film soundtrack, free improvisation, experimental rock, and various mutations of electronica. He’s written for leading ensembles & avant-garde musicians, composing a 90+ catalogue of pieces which combine instruments, electronics, improvisation and notation in idiosyncratic ways.
Pateras has over 50 releases on labels including Tzadik, Editions Mego, Ipecac, Another Timbre, Futura Resistenza, Shelter Press, Cave 12 & Improved Sequence. He has lived in Melbourne, Perth, Brussels, Sydney, Berlin, Stuttgart & Vevey, and is now based in Castlemaine, Australia.
He will be paired in an analogue synthesizer cage-fight at the Lyttelton Coffee Company with Bruce Russell, hyper-local sound artist and unavoidable ‘identity’ round the manor.
Zeug Gezeugt is an Australia/Aotearoa grafted transplant experiment in the making. His software-wrangled electro-acoustic spew is highly esteemed in certain corners of the frequency spectrum. A rare chance to pick the fruit of this exotic species from the actual tree.
Meanwhile Poltroon (Reuben Derrick on his holidays) brings a wind vibe with afternotes of Ornette, and a lingering fragrance of ‘hep jazz’. What can we say? He travels the space-ways.
But wait, there’s more! DJs Stanier Black 5 (Come on baby, do the Locomotive) and IRD will ensure that no moment of the evening is left un-scorched.
