Song Fwaa are releasing their debut album “Ligeti’s Goat”.

Song Fwaa (from the French sangfroid; literally cold blood, colloquially coolness under pressure).

Original, unusual and conversational music from three of Australia’s finest improvisors; Martin Kay on alto sax (Fantastic Terrific Munkle/Continuum Sax/SSO), David Reaston on guitar (leader of the 10 Guitar Project), and Jamie Cameron on drums (20th Century Dog/Amphibious/Adam Ponting). Melodies, sometimes pretty, sometimes catchy, and occasionally abstract and angular, collide with improvisations chattering and emoting, propelling the listener on an exciting express. A fascination for texture and unusual tunings and forms led to a consensus to improvise and compose as a chamber ensemble. Song Fwaa views music as an open vessel into which ideas are dropped and stewed. One is as likely to encounter a ragged ragtime or a post-bop scronk as much as a munted groove or a dodecaphonic row. Transcending the trio’s eclectic curiosity and its diverse stylistic range, Song Fwaa demonstrates a unity of purpose: creating passionate music that resonates in both mind and body.
Personal: Martin Kay (alto saxophone); David Reaston (guitar and pedals); Jamie Cameron (drums).

The Official Album Launch will be held in Sydney at the Venue 505 on Monday 18 April 2011 (8:30PM). For venue enquires please go to www.venue505.com.
