Kate Wilson | Scholfield | Miah Aplin | Molly O’Brien

---

Katie Wilson
Born a tiprat, Katie is a country folk singer songwriter hailing from the NW coast of Tassie. She now resides in the Huon Valley.
She mostly sings earnest sad songs about hard times, but with an honest heartfelt glimmer shimmer of hope somewhere in there.

Schofield
Scholfield is an Anachronism. The lost spirit of a bygone age, winking, snarling, brooding and crooning. Always unpredictable and off beat, expect an experience that is at once familiar, calling as much to the traditions of Greenwhich Village folk as to Brunswick Bohemian.

Miah Aplin
If the world was to end tomorrow, you would find Miah Aplin carefully packing her Takamine guitar into its case, rounding up her family and friends and gathering wood for one last evening of music around a fire. Miah loves to feel connected with others, and through her music this has materialised in an indie/folk form. She enjoys hunkering down with a cup of tea and listening to Chet Baker, or driving the coastal route home to get the end of the Missy Higgins album she’s been singing along to. Other artists Miah has been loving of late include Eloise, Lizzy McAlpine and Ben Abraham.

Molly O’Brien
Hailing from the south of Lutruwita / Tasmania, Molly O’Brien perform original songs rooted in the realms of folk and soul. With warm enriched melodies and intricately crafted lyrics she presents a series of serenades that explore story tellings of hope, homicide, love and loss.

Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled showcase of courage and triumph that will ignite your spirit.
Don’t miss this unforgettable adventure!

Every year, our unique films are carefully chosen to show awesome women achieving their personally adventurous goals. Being adventurous doesn’t always mean being the fastest, going the highest, or doing the most extreme things. Adventure for most of us is stepping outside our comfort zone and climbing our own Everest. The films showcase real stories about women from a variety of cultures and sports around the world.

‘Salamanca Jazz’ is Live in the Founders Room on Woobys Lane, with 
Spike Mason’s ‘OXIMETRIC: a blend of beauty and tension‘.

Saturday 28th September 2024
Doors & bar open at 7pm
Music from 7:30pm 

The Founders Room on Woobys Lane
Salamanca Arts Centre 

Spike has been a PhD candidate at UTAS for the past four years researching his original Oximetric music.
The oximetric concept involves the execution of a largely unfamiliar performance practice within jazz ensemble music.
Each musician within the ensemble plays melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic material, either composed or improvised, within their own unrelated pulse. 

The musicians, although playing at the same time, do not adhere to a shared pulse, time signature, or groove.
Each of the pulses are played with the goal to maintain a sense of the individual. There is no need for them to start or finish together. The pulses are not rhythmic subdivisions of each other or related mathematically. They are separate voices that create a synergy by being sounded together in the same sonic space, and sharing a common intent, or mood. 

The oximetric concept incorporates archetypal rhythms that are expanded and compounded by each of the performers in the ensemble at their discretion. The rhythms are to be executed ‘phrasically’, so that each melodic or rhythmic segment is not strict but flows and breathes as in our natural bodies.

“The object is not the random juxtaposition of hostile pieces of music, but the creation of something entirely natural, despite its divergent pulses and harmonies. The result is not a jumble of sounds but often a strange serenity, with points of convergence. Rather than being unrelentingly busy, the multiple layers tend towards discerning restraint, engendering a blend of beauty and tension.” John Shand – Sydney Morning Herald

Spike Mason’s OXIMETRIC comprises Damien Kingston – guitar; Hamish Houston – double bass; Konrad Park – drums; Spike Mason – saxophone.
