June 18th Driftwood will perform at the library portal (re)opening fundraiser event
Driftwood is the new duo project of Nick Ashwood and Aviva Endean. Performing face to face, with back to back organs, Driftwood meets in a microtonal, buzzing, blurring landscape. Their unique instrumental line up features two re-tuned antique pump organs, which create a resonant backdrop for their primary instruments of clarinets (Aviva) and guitars (Nick). Their slowly evolving music draws influence from minimalist, drone and folk traditions to create a generous and shimmering sound, inspiring a hypnotic and transformational quality of listening in their audiences, who are momentarily immersed in this harmonic expanse.
library portal will officially (re)open this may
join us for a two-day fair of book-borrowing, music and learning within our new, heritage-listed home and its lovingly-tended garden.
