Chris Abrahams returns in 2016 with a new edition for Room40, Fluid To The Influence. Building upon the foundation of his previous three editions, Abrahams charts out a divergent course through lilting piano flows, distended organ passages, thunderous electronic eruptions and focused concrète explorations. Fluid To The Influence spans a huge spectrum of sound, each movement calling forward to the next in a flowing motion that demonstrates Abrahams’ commitment to and interest in the album as an artistic form.
Known widely for his piano work with post-everything trio The Necks, Abrahams output as a composer orbits an otherly sonic sphere. Piano is just one element he draws upon, creating a deliberately expansive sound field within which the listener is invited to become lost. He is one of the most significant voices in Australian music, and arguably one of the most restless and original artists creating work today.
On connait Chris Abrahams comme le pianiste de The Necks mais aussi pour ses superbes albums solo ou nombreuses collaborations avec Clare Cooper, Lucio Capece, Alessandro Bosetti ou Burkhard Beins par exemple. À l’aise derrière de nombreux claviers il est aussi prolifique dans un travail de studio qui ici traverse de nombreuses atmosphères différentes. Une exploration concrète de l’instrument, distordu ou pas, à travers une série de pièces qui toutes se répondent logiquement. On a parfois l’impression de traverser un gamelan dans le brouillard, un piano ruiné en bord de route ou un orage lointain !
