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.

// 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.

//MILTON MAN GOGH
Milton Man Gogh (MMG) is an experimental trio, formed as an outlet for the members to play the original compositions that no-one else wanted to play. Having performed and recorded together in various freelance and original settings over the last few years, the boys, Andrew Saragossi (Winds), Zac Sakrewski (Double Bass) and Benjamin Shannon (Drums) felt that the combination of questionable yarns, overly-involved music, a tortured, self- mutilating artist and a certain domestic beer made perfect sense; they decided to go ahead and give it a Man Gogh. The result of this unholy union is a painting that shows their constellations of influences, with just enough beer to blur those stars to the point of complete obscurity. Kind of like slipping some meth to a bull and setting it loose in the Louvre - yeah, that’s more like it.
Equally comfortable plundering sounds from Meshuggah and Donny McCaslin to Aphex Twin and Bela Bartok, MMG explores (and sometimes exploits) personal inquiry through composition, ultimately being brought to life in the studio and live performance.
