MJC Presents: Griswold-Svoboda-Kim (Brisbane/Sydney/Melbourne) – Anatomical Heart

Anatomical Heart is a collaborative trio who focus on the spontaneity of each moment. Together they create colourful musical cells, glitchy rhythms and vibrant soundscapes, using prepared piano, bass, drums and collected objects.

A trio of musicians based in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, they first came together in the remote bush property of Harrigans Lane, northern New South Wales, to fuse their highly individualistic voices into a common language. The juxtaposition of Erik Griswold’s John Cage-inflected prepared piano, Helen Svoboda’s Nordic-tinged bass, and Chloe Kim’s highly intense but precise drumming found conversational fluency in the remoteness of the Australian bush.

The resulting album, Anatomical Heart, is coming out on the Earshift label.
