Clocked Out

Erik Griswold, Co-Director

Eclectic Australian-American musician Erik Griswold fuses experimental, jazz and world music traditions to create works of striking originality. Specializing in prepared piano, percussion and toy instruments, he has created a musical universe all his own that is "sincere" (neural.it), "playful" (igloo magazine), "colourful and refreshingly unpretentious" (Paris Transatlantic). Griswold performs as a soloist, in Clocked Out Duo (with percussionist Vanessa Tomlinson), and collaborates with musicians from diverse backgrounds as well as visual artists, writers and dancers. www.erikgriswold.org

As a soloist she has worked closely with influential European composers Vinko Globokar and Brian Ferneyhough, prominent Australian/American composers Erik Griswold, Liza Lim and Anthony Pateras, and instrument builder Rosemary Joy. She performs frequently with a wide array of contemporary chamber and improvisation ensembles, including Australian Art Orchestra, Elision Ensemble, Twitch, and Clocked Out Duo.
