Liminal

An otherworldly, unforgettable disc from a unique Melbourne composer. Liminal *combines voice, percussion, reeds and cascading waves of double bass in a hypnotic, ever-building tower of sound. Equally informed by Byzantine chant, Holy Minimalism and jazz, Tsiavos is a fixture on Melbourne’s early music and experimental scenes, the leader of acts such as the much-admired *Jouissance. A constant enigma, this music is simultaneously stark and lush, driving and serene, and it deserves recognition on the level of Pärt, Tavener, Gorecki and Tsabropoulos.
