Glen Kniebeiss + Chris Sprague

 


a truly creative and unexpected crossing of cultures…. these two Australians eloquently point the way forward.
(fRoots magazine UK)

an amazing performance...... out of this world
(songcarver.com)

intense, delicate and very, very moving
(the Boite)

The music of Glen Kniebeiss and Chris Sprague is deeply informed by the traditions of india and the middle east, minimalism and the element of trance, they conjure new textures using the indian tabla, surbahar (baritone sitar) and the mandocello.

Having spent their formative years in the broad open landscapes of the south australian desert and the wimmera, chris and glen’s music is imbued with the same sense of depth and spaciousness.

A decade long musical partnership and extensive training in India has resulted in a chemistry that draws deeply on tradition whilst allowing a style of spontaneous intuitive interplay that is a joy to experience.
