ABOUT THIS EVENT

Escape into the haunting soundscape of Nick Tsiavos' Liminal. 

What happens when ancient chant collides with contemporary culture? The incantation is born a new, modern energy mixing freely with sacred text. Returning to the Salon in 2012, Liminal is the distillation of Tsiavos' 20-year exploration of these ideas. Join him as he brings together a group of brilliant musicians for a performance where New Complexity, Free Jazz and Byzantine Chant meet to form a new and mesmerising sound.

'This is an outstanding new Australian release, a beautiful and moving disc. Liminal is somewhat reminiscent of the "holy minimalism" of Górecki and Tavener, recorded with clean resonance. Beneath the liquid surface, however, lies an undercurrent of just-contained fire.'  - Julian Day, Limelight Magazine
