ABOUT

Inner west based alternative / ambient / folk / electronic project, keen to meet musicians who like experimenting/ improvising with textural sounds eg guitarists who use pedals, electronic musicians, cellists, violin players- open to all ideas.

Have had agency / other interest for past released music. you you can hear music at Blackdiamondorchestra.com and
https://www.triplejunearthed.com/artist/black-diamond-orchestra, but moving in a more beat driven /free improvisation around song structure approach.

Have a heap of new material, looking to record early next year, and open to collaborating / working on other projects.
