Clocked Out Duo

New music with a sense of play and adventure

Comprising Erik Griswold and Vanessa Tomlinson, Clocked Out Duo, has built an enchanting sound world over the past 10 years. Using resources as varied as percussion, prepared piano, kitchen implements, spare car parts, and a bewildering array of musical toys, their highly original music fuses many influences from experimental, jazz and world music sources. In their playful and adventurous work Clocked Out Duo create links between disparate styles and artistic communities.

Equally at home in major concert halls and intimate clubs, the Brisbane-based duo has toured in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the U.S., and Europe. They have released two critically acclaimed CDs and plan to complete their third in 2008, with music inspired by Terry Riley and Morton Feldman.

" Clocked Out Duo are ready and willing to expand your musical horizons. - Brett McCallon, Splendid E-zine (USA)

"Duo piano prepare/jouet et percussions exotiques, le Clocked Out duo est une agreable surprise. Entre compositions contemporaines (opera chinois) et improvisations jazz, cet album est surprenant a chaque detour!" - Opposition de Phase (France)
