Grammy-nominated, ARIA-winning pianist and composer Barney McAll presents his quintet performing new music in response to uncertain events and uncertain times. Listening with their eyes, they aim to release both questions and answers into sound — into the flux of constant change — holding space for many possibilities, where nothing is fixed and the ever-evolving present is met as it is.
“Barney has always been a spiritual and positive voice — a conceptualist with great empathy and humour. I have known Barney for decades, having played in many different projects together — his, mine, and others in the New York scene in the ’90s and 2000s. His activities were always intriguing, and his powers on the keys formidable.”
— Kurt Rosenwinkel
