'Open Thread' features the innovative Melbourne based ensemble including cellist Peggy Lee, saxophonist Julien Wilson, guitarist Theo Carbo, and drummer Dylan van der Schyff. Their new album weaves together anthemic melodies, diverse rhythmic structures, and a broad range of improvised soundscapes, delivering a unique blend that is both idiosyncratic and reflective of their wide-ranging musical influences.The project showcases each member's original compositions alongside improvisations to create a unified group sound. 'This band is about the creation of a group sonic palette from which compositional and improvisational ideas can play and flourish,' says Dylan van der Schyff. The inception of Open Thread was sparked by Peggy Lee's move to Melbourne and her desire to connect with local musicians. This led to a magical gathering of talents, culminating in an improvised performance at Bar 303 in Melbourne, that hinted at the rich possibilities of their collective sound. 'The joy we have had in making this music is something we hope listeners will feel, finding it both challenging and rewarding upon repeat listens, ' explains Lee.The album is a journey through emotional and sonic landscapes, featuring tracks like the haunting 'Invocation,' the rhythmically complex 'Easy Pour,' and the folk-inflected 'Theo's Song.' From the somber melodies of 'Wander' to the energetic interplay of 'Usurper,' Open Thread explores an expansive musical territory. The dedication to the late Paul Motian in 'For PM' showcases their ability to honor musical legends while pushing boundaries. 'Each musician's deep vocabulary of extended techniques on their instrument, combined with a shared love of melody and song forms, creates an intriguing juxtaposition,' explains van der Schyff.Open Thread's story began with a serendipitous formation in 2023, united by Peggy Lee's initiative and a shared sense of playful experimentation. Their first, entirely improvised performance at Bar 303 laid the foundation for a project marked by ease of communication and a dedication to exploring the unknown. With each member contributing original compositions, Open Thread has carved a distinct niche within the Melbourne music scene, offering listeners a rich sound world that stretches the boundaries of genre and expression.
