Velella
‘Velella’ refers to Velella velella - the “by-the-wind sailor,” a colonial hydrozoan whose way of life, floating across the surface of the open ocean, carries it by the wind to many places, as we hope our music does for our listeners. Recorded live in Brisbane by the extraordinary Melbourne-based sound engineer Siiri Metsar, this album further extends the band’s unique sound and style, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in its finely-crafted soundscapes and improvisations.
Moving Home
East of West's ARIA-nominated second album offers a fresh set of original compositions by Bosnian-Australian double bass player Goran Gajić. Over the four years of their collaboration, the trio’s musicians have developed an intuitive musical relationship which emerges through their dynamic interplay, virtuosic unison melodies and expressive soloing, interspersed with moments of mesmerising musical sparseness. “Their technical virtuosity is evident but the intuitive interplay between band members delivers a special touch of magic.” - Rhythms Magazine
