Blip is a duo collaboration between Jim Denley and Mike Majkowski: two of Australia’s most prominent improvising musicians. They began playing together in 2002, as members of The Splinter Orchestra, and formed Blip in 2009. They have been developing their own approach to the woodwinds/strings duo arrangement, deconstructing and reconstructing this format. Blip music focuses on duration, the subtleties of sound, the pitch within timbre and texture, as well as pulse. With this Blip move from clear and simple structures to multi-layered complexities.

“blip - Mike Majkowski - double bass, pitch pipes, objects. Jim Denley - alto sax, flutes. We recorded this disc one afternoon, set up the mics, checked the levels and the music is pretty much as we played it - not much editing went on afterwards. Having said that, we’d been trying to make a CD together for a number of years (we think this is the 5th or 6th attempt). All through that process we kept listening, editing, mastering and then trying again - in the words of Samuel Beckett - “Try again. Fail again. Fail better”. Recording became our process of review and we’d like to think that through this process, we were ultimately able to make something spontaneous and composed. blip.” label info
