Moth

Overview

We tend to typify musicians as a sensitive lot: delicate, emotional and at risk of becoming whiskey-guzzling wash-outs should their dreams fade away. However, there's certainly no post-competition style depression at work amongst the members of Synergy Percussion. Rather than sitting back on their laurels and lazily pointing out commendations like this one — from Peter Sculthorpe, no less — they've decided it's time to start a second band and put their money where their mouth is.

Enter Moth: a group of award-winning musicians that aim to pose a challenge to the typical 'classical' genre expectations. Incorporating elements of pop, jazz and dance music, not to mention a mysteriously-named 'squidstrument', they are bravely pushing onwards and upwards. Without giving the game away, I'd be expecting to hear some luscious soandscapes, soaring melodies and perhaps even a driving bass line or two.
