Topology is increasingly recognised as one of Australia's leading new music ensembles. Their energetic, full-blooded sound belies their compact instrumentation. Since forming in 1997, Topology has built a solid audience, and regularly performs to sold-out houses around Australia. The group's concerts are broadcast nationally by the ABC.

Topology is often collaborating - this year, it's been with Terry Riley (minimalist legend), Tyrone Noonan (from the band george) and Kate Miller-Heidke (one of today's most amazing popera divas).

Nothing if not flexible, Topology is often found in the theatre, in art galleries, clubs, accompanying silent film, even supporting pop groups such as Savage Garden in 10000-seat arenas. But their typical home is in the concert hall; in addition to their annual concert series, they are frequently featured in festivals.

The group has given a wide range of performances, from experimental Fluxus music at the Queensland Art Gallery to the Sydney Olympic Arts Festival, playing nightly The Marriage of Figaro, directed by Neil Armfield and starring Geoffrey Rush. In between shows, they performed the opening concert for the Sydney Spring Festival (where they received Best Ensemble Award in 1999), and were resident ensemble at the University of Western Sydney.

Topology continues to work with and consult with many international composers, including those from Canada (Tim Brady), the UK (Andrew Poppy, Michael Nyman, Jeremy Peyton Jones), the US (William Duckworth, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Carl Stone, Paul Dresher) and with many Australian composers.

Miranda Barber-2 songs in top 10 for ASA Awards!





Aug 31 2007 3:02 PM

Hey Topology, i hope this finds you super well and that the music is playing for you!

From the outset I apologise for the shameless plus and promise to only take a tiny moment of your time cos I know how precious it is - a small favour to ask.

Basically, out of 600 songwriters, I have been voted into the final 12 on Slice The Pie's first showcase - Launch Arena. I am in the running for £15,000 to help me make an album. The tedious part, is the artist with the most votes, wins! The showcase closes on 5th September.

Pretty please vote for me - if you follow the instructions below it will take a couple of minutes at most:

Please go to http://www.slicethepie.com
- register for free (they will send you a reg no)
-sign in
- click the SHOWCASE tab
- then go to Current Showcase - LAUNCH ARENA
- and vote beside my name.

I really really appreciate any support that comes my way, Love M x
