Triosk won't be back any time soon, to LMYE's continuing chagrin. But Adrian Klumpes (or Lim-Klumpes now, seemingly) is still making compelling, unobvious music in a rich variety of guises - solo, duetting with the great Shoeb Ahmad of hellosQuare, in the 3ofmillions trio (thrilling new album launched tomorrow night with Chris Abrahams ...) & in enticing collaborations with the likes of Machinefabriek & Thomas Bednarczyk . [...]
Alongside his vast solo output ( Discogs !), collaboration is another important outlet for Machinefabriek 's seemingly limitless creativity. From the lush romance of his Peter Broderick encounter to a richly ominous showdown with Aaron Martin via chewy, rewarding combinations with Adrian Klumpes (once of LMYE [...]
Not exactly post-jazz, post-pop or post-rock but some rich & often intensely satisfying, deeply jazz-infused brew of all three, E.S.T . ended with abrupt tragedy this summer . The earlier albums (like Strange Place for Snow , Winter in Venice , Good Morning Susie Soho & From Gagarin's Point of View ) usually seem the best. But today's 45-minute freebie retrospective shows that the trio's intensity, rhythmic inventiveness & playful ear were all still intact [...]
Now that the Top 25 has been kicking around for a few days now I figured I'd post some thoughts as well as the bands that just missed the cut. Perhaps it was to be expected, but hip-hop was pretty absent from the list. The Herd did pretty well (51) but other than that hip-hop didn't really make much of an impact on the list. I'm not sure if this reflects the state of Australian hip-hop, or bloggers' taste. I have my suspicions. One of the great things about doing this list was [...]
(Photo by sergueibubka ) Posts have been a bit shy in coming forwards in recent days: I can only apologise on their behalf. They are indeed reticent folk, but more importantly, their valuable time has been invested in shouting at Audacity , an ordinarily convenient and straightforward podcast-producing kind of tool, for not letting me fade songs in and out on the forthcoming YCCMB podcast numero duo. So. I'm sorry. But on to today's topic. Australia , eh? Home of tinnies, arvo's and many, many other comedic abbreviations. Where men are men and [...]
This isn't my usual fare but I got turned onto these a couple of days ago and I'm pretty enchanted by it all. An Australian 3-piece on The Leaf Label , Triosk, are a jazz group at heart but have been influenced by electronica and post-rock giving their sound a distinctly modern edge - perfectly exhibited on their new album The Headlight Serenade . They remind me primarily of Tortoise at their most interesting, they have worked with [...]

"Triosk was formed in Sydney, Australia in 2001 with the objective to perform improvised-based music in which electronics played an active and equal role." If that's Triosk's manifesto then they are definitely fulfilling it to some engaging levels. Their latest album 'The Headlight Serenade' is released tomorrow and from what I've heard so far, is a collection of songs with the ethos of improvisational jazz. The songs are loose and open-ended and have the detailed percussive stylings that Four Tet say, likes to dip his toes into. Their songs are organic sounding with warm electronics. [...]
I've known about the Australian post-jazz trio Triosk before from a collaboration with one of my favourite electronic artists Jan Jelinek. That was a good effort of collaboration that shows how you can collaborate in todays world even if you're thousands of miles away . However I remember that I thought it wasn't as spectacular as I hoped it would be. Basically the time between that album and today, I have forgotten about Triosk. However with a nice reminder from Leaf, I know think that I have been missing out on them. Post-jazz is a pseudo term [...]
