Strange Attractors: Jess Green (Syd) and Dylan van der Schyff

Jess Green – guitar
Dylan van der Schyff – drums and percussion

Guitarist Jess Green and Drummer Dylan van der Schyff perform spontaneously improvised music, real-time conversations in sound and emotion, evoking free jazz, free improvisation, ambient and drone music, and, occasionally, shades of 90’s grunge rock. The music is exuberant and complex – at times cinematic, at times cheeky and raucous.

Jess Green (AKA Pheno) is an Australian guitarist, and vocalist. In her twenty-year career she has established herself as a genre-defying performer and composer. Jess has performed with jazz and blues luminaries including, The Catholics, Jim Conway, and Renee Geyer, as well as contemporary artists Laura Jean and Katie Noonan. She has supported touring international pop icons including Joan as Policewoman (US) and The New Pornographers (CAN). Jess collaborates as an improviser across jazz, new music and contemporary classical, and has performed with Bree van Reyk, Nick Wales, and Ensemble Offspring.

Drummer Dylan van der Schyff was born in South Africa, grew up in Canada, and now lives in Melbourne, Australia. Over his thirty-year career he has performed and recorded with a wide range of well-known figures in the fields of improvised and experimental music including Joelle Léandre, George Lewis, John Butcher, Dave Douglas, John Zorn, Roscoe Mitchell, Phil Minton, Marilyn Crispell, Butch Morris, Nicole Mitchell, and Kris Davis among many others.
