// STRANGE ATTRACTORS

Jess green and Dylan van der Schyff are STRANGE ATTRACTORS. The music is exuberant and complex – at times cinematic, at times cheeky and raucous. These are real-time conversations in sound and emotion, evoking free jazz, free improvisation, ambient and drone music, and, occasionally, shades of 90’s grunge rock.

The name Strange Attractors is borrowed from the mathematics of complex systems. It describes the dynamic forces that pull systems in chaos towards coordination, but never in the same way twice. This term is used in the study of grand complex systems such as planetary orbits, flocking birds, swarming insects, and weather systems. Strange Attractors describes unpredictable pattern formation in nature and therefore provides a delightful metaphor for the free-wheeling constellations of energy in these pieces.

MADE NOW MUSIC and the Brisbane International Jazz Festival are proud to present the launch of the exciting new group STRANGE ATTRACTORS (featuring Jess Green and Dylan van der Schyff)! This dynamic duo will be traveling from interstate to showcase their innovative improvisational soundscapes, celebrating the release of their new album via MNM.

Joining them for this rare and unmissable event is Brisbane-grown (now internationally roaming) monolith/juggernaut/flagship ensemble MILTON MAN GOGH, the internationally acclaimed prog-jazz powerhouse, fresh off their prestigious Banff residency. This unique double bill is a genuinely singular event that is not to be missed. 

Saturday, October 19th at It’s Still a Secret (South Brisbane) - Doors at 7pm, Music from 7:30 - $20 entry
