The Robbie Melville Quartet is the latest project from the guitarist and composer, winner of the Instrumental Category of the 2018 International Song Competition. With the sympathetic rhythm section of bassist Tamara Murphy and drummer Maddison Carter, and featuring Zoe Knighton on cello, the quartet explore a juxtaposition of heavily structured arrangements with free spirited extemporisation, informed in equal measure by contemporary jazz and Norwegian folk, the sparse and playful writings of Richard Brautigan, the photography of Viktor Kolář, the film soundtracks of Mark Orton. Delicate, humourous, ethereal, intimate and quirky.

Nat Bartsch’s ‘Hope Renewed’ is a jazz/post-rock re-interpretation of her ARIA-nominated neoclassical album, ‘Hope’. The original album is a gentle suite for piano and strings, responding to the struggles of 2020. ‘Hope Renewed’, in contrast, represents a post-pandemic era. The album creates an intricate and immersive patchwork of sound, recorded by Nat’s jazz quartet.

Bartsch’s latest album, Hope Renewed, is a jazz/post-rock reinterpretation of her 2021 ARIA-nominated classical album, Hope. The album is an intricate and immersive patchwork of sound that brings together Bartsch’s various musical sides. It is equal parts vulnerable and kind, minimalist and maximalist, epic and playful.
