This week’s PBS Feature Album is Polymorphic, the groundbreaking project from Melbourne based visionary percussionist and composer Maddison Carter.
Polymorphic is Maddison Carter's latest venture, drawing upon his fascination for rhythmic complexity. Whilst blurring the boundaries of jazz and contemporary classical music, the compositions juxtapose tonal and atonal threads. The music shows an affinity for constructed, organised sonic space alongside vast improvisation. Electronic manipulation, tight interlocking rhythms, and vibraphone craft the distinct sound of this ensemble.
The project emerges from the creative expanses of Melbourne's lockdowns, capturing a new direction in Carter's artistic journey. Polymorphic is a reflection of Carter's life, his connection with his ensemble, and an intimate portrayal of his artistic and personal growth, inviting listeners into a world of deep emotional and rhythmic exploration.
Tune in all this week to hear tracks from Polymorphic, and PBS Members have the chance to win a copy of the album on CD, simply email your name and membership number to before midnight Sunday February 25.
