Dog Tooth

Mina Johansson - tenor saxophone

Dog Tooth is an emerging experimental jazz ensemble based in Sydney/Eora. Deeply rooted in their experimental and collaborative practice, the group develops co-composed segments with ambient soundscapes, deep grooves and unconventional timbral textures woven in their work. The music moves fluidly through different sections, creating a continuous narrative. Featuring Aidan Eccleshall, Saskia Shearer, Jarrah Henderson Jackson and Mina Johansson. Dog Tooth will present Good Night Moon.

Dog Tooth has presented their work across contemporary art and music contexts, including two performances at the Museum of Contemporary Art as part of artist Cerith Wyn Evans’ exhibition opening. The group was also selected to perform in Backstage Music’s Midnight Static concert series, supporting emerging and experimental artists. The ensemble has received support through the Contemporary Music Development - Industry Development grant, enabling a regional tour through Harden and Young, NSW, contributing to the presentation of experimental and improvised music in regional Australia. With a commitment to collaboration and process, Dog Tooth continues to explore new approaches and sounds within Australia’s experimental jazz landscape.
