5olo5

 5olo5 is 5 soloists performing a 12 minute piece then joining in an improv ensemble to complete the show. The brainchild of Trevor Brown, it's on in the Uniting Church on Oxford St Paddington one friday each month. I went along on Friday the 23rd and did some drawings of the performers - Hayley Chan, Gary Daley, Ellen Kirkwood, Freya Shack-Arnott, and Trevor Brown.

Thanks to you all for a really enjoyable show,

This is Gary Daley Playing the accordion enhanced with electronics

Ellen got up and did a circuit of the beautiful old sandstone church, creating reverb off the walls and headspace with her trumpet

 

Trevor on the clarinet, always on the move

 

Freya soloing on the cello

Introductions at the strat of the show, Gary, Hayley, Freya, Ellen, and Trevor, my sketchy warm-up. A very enjoyable show, I hope everyone can get along to the next one

Express from City

A little painting I started out on the street the other day between Leichhardt and Lilyfield. The fumes from the traffic get stuck between a wall and some trees behind the spot so I feel like taking a respirator along
