The Necks

"Like seeing a world in a grain of sand, The Necks permit us to hear a whole new world of music in a sliver of sound." – The Guardian, UK

The Necks are “a magic act masquerading as a piano trio” (Los Angeles Times). Their music slows down the very passing of time, while creating impossible textures and aural illusions. Occupying a distinctive “post-jazz, post-rock, post-everything” sonic world (The Guardian, UK), this iconic Australian band are driven by curiosity about the infinite possibilities of sound. Often originating from a single musical notion, their music evolves over an extended period of time into a kaleidoscopic, layered soundscape – entirely improvised and conjured up in situ by these three masterful musicians. The result is an event comparable to a “collective meditation, executed with a Zen-like discipline that paradoxically engenders an extraordinary amount of freedom” (The Age).
