Attention Spanner

Mike Gorman, self-taught explorer of sound, has played various instruments in a wide variety of ways over many years. Inseparably, he has also practised, in a purely self-directed way, deep listening, and this has undoubtedly informed his own distinctive language on the piano. The inspiration and commitment Mike brings to the act of performing instills the music he makes with a unique intensity and character.

Steve Harris has played the drums for many years, in a range of different musical contexts - from pop to rock to jazz. Over the last few years, he has been exploring improvised music, finding this to be a natural and highly rewarding progression in his musical development. Steve has recently been instrumental in organising Extensions 1 and 2 in Armidale, featuring Scott Sinclair, Joe Musgrove, DJ Olive, Laurence English, Lloyd Barrett, and Tony MacDonald.

Mike and Steve have collaborated as listeners and performers for many years, and are united in the desire to explore improvised sound in all its possibilities.
