Internationally acclaimed percussionist Claire Edwardes OAM, <\/em>will release her the seventh solo album, Dual Attractor,<\/em> in digital format on the ABC Classic label on Friday 6 March and in CD format on 9 March 2026. (NB change of Sydney venue to that originally advertised).<\/p>\n

Edwardes has been a defining force in Australian new music for three decades. Since 2006 she has led Ensemble Offspring as Artistic Director, commissioning more than 80 new solo works and collaborating with leading composers
\nworldwide. She maintains a busy solo career presenting recitals and concerto performances with symphony orchestras around Australia and the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a follow-up to my 2021 album Rhythms of Change, Dual Attractor<\/em> brings together bespoke new solos and collaborations that feel like an arrival point in my career,\u201d says Edwardes. \u201cSpanning marimba, vibraphone, drums and electronics, these works are all by female composers from around the world whom I deeply admire.\u201d<\/p>\n

The album reveals the expressive breadth of Edwardes\u2019 instruments, from the shimmering textures of Missy Mazzoli\u2019s Orizzonte and the hymn-like stillness of Caroline Shaw\u2019s in manus tuas<\/em>, to the surging energy of Kate Moore\u2019s Joyful Melodies<\/em> and the darkly playful I Promise Not to Poison You xoxo<\/em> by Gemma Peacocke.<\/p>\n

With all tracks engineered by Sean Carey @ Church Street Studios, mastered by Michael Lynch and album artwork designed by Amanda Edwards, the album\u2019s title track, Dual Attractor<\/em>, for drums and electronics, was created with iconic electropop artist Paul Mac, initially for RECITAL (2018), a dance work created with performer Richard Cilli and director\/choreographer Gideon Obarzanek. Cilli will join Edwardes on stage for Dual Attractor<\/em> at the Sydney album launch on Monday 9 March at Machine Hall.<\/p>\n

Also featured on the album is Emberstrike<\/em> by Natalie Williams, a vibraphone solo honouring the Women of Steel at Port Kembla, whose fight for the right to work in the steelworks reshaped Australian employment law. Anna Meredith\u2019s genre-defying bumps per minute<\/em> for vibraphone and backing track is a techno inspired dreamscape of intense energy.<\/p>\n

Key dates: Friday 6 March \u2013 Digital Album Release
\nMonday 9 March \u2013 Sydney Album Launch, The Studio, ACO On The Pier (NB Change of venue)
\nWednesday 18 March \u2013 Melbourne Album Launch, Melbourne Recital Centre
