ALBUMS & COLLABORATIONS
sunburnt aftertones
The chamber music of Katy Abbott. Her chamber works span her career to date and are perhaps the best example of her capacity to immediately engage the audience in an evocative sound world.
“This is poetic, assertive music that is jubilantly of its time.” Rosalind Appleby, music critic and author, 2010.
The 7 Great Inventions of the Modern Industrial Age
This masterful CD explores the astounding surge in human invention during the 20th century ... and its consequences. This is an award-winning dramatic musical work by Sally Greenaway featuring the Syzygy Ensemble.
Salt
A mix of the intimate and expansive, SALT is a collection of chamber and solo works that explore connections between human emotion and natural phenomena. In this eclectic record, ghostly bird-like calls and the low rumble of powerful rolling swells are juxtaposed with exquisite melody and patient stillness.
“A highlight of this collaborative production is the superb musicianship of the Syzygy Ensemble a contemporary music sextet on piano, violin, cello, clarinet, flute and percussion. Their musicianship is unparalleled. Greenaway’s suite of music notably constitutes an eclectic range of compositional genres.”
— Peter Wilkins, Canberra Times ”

“Having seen Syzygy in concert on a couple of occasions, their work ethic, their skill, their unity and their dedication to every piece they study and perform are really special. The unity of spirit and musical understanding between composer and performers is palpable.”
