Hypnotic minimalism, experimental songs and shimmering dream-folk spanning five decades of Melbourne’s musical underground.

Celebrating the launch of David Chesworth’s hypnotic and strangely beautiful solo record Maydena Creek — his first solo release in many years.

Renowned for his 80s groups Essendon Airport, Whadya Want? and Drive Time with Bill McDonald, as well as his composition, video and sound-art works of the last four decades, Chesworth returns with an album released on vinyl by the wonderful team at Program Records and digitally by Chapter Music.

Hinting at natural flows and geological vibrations, Maydena Creek combines these with modern distortions and surreal imagery to form a compelling, hallucinatory collection of off-kilter but strangely catchy experimental songs.

In typical Chesworth style, the music brings together the quirky 1970s Fun Machine organ and the more egg-headed Moog Subharmonicon, which draws on forgotten early-20th-century electronic instruments.

Alongside David Chesworth will be a rare performance of the seminal 1976 work Minimalism by Melbourne experimental group → ↑ →, performed by musicians Mia Alexander, Arsam Samadi, Kassie Junkeer and Clementine Girard-Foley, with direction by Philip Brophy.
Plus, shimmering atmospheric anthems and alternative minimalism from lo-fi/dream-folk specialists Who Cares.
