How to dismantle the world (and still feel good about yourself in the morning) presents a range of propositions for a hopeless world.

Immerse yourself in a sonic world created by Gabriella Hill, saxophonist from the Conservatorium of Music, in response to themes of hope, dystopia and revolution in How to dismantle the world.…

About Gabriella Hill:

Gabriella Hill plays saxophone and clarinet, and is currently studying jazz at the Sydney Conservatorium. She is interested in exploring the sonic possibilities and limits of the saxophone whilst developing a personal language for improvisation. Current projects include Hill/Hall/Raymond Trio (with Henry Hall and Daniel Raymond), MAD BAG (with Aidan Wong) and JAG (with Alex Tucker and Jacques Emery). In 2023 Gabriella participated in the Australian Art Orchestra Creative Music Intensive. She also regularly plays with Splinter Orchestra.

About Aidan Wong:

Aidan Wong is a tenor saxophonist based in Sydney. Coming from a jazz background while studying in the Sydney Conservatorium, he became interested in different ways of playing his instrument in more exploratory contexts. This particularly involves the incorporation of saxophone multiphonics into an improvising language built on dense sound combinations. Being active in the Sydney improvised music scene, he is a member of Splinter Orchestra, and new, current groups such as Eating Rinds (with Cassidy Pyc and Alex Tucker), Mad Bag (duo with Gabriella Hill), Nigel is No More (with Alex Tucker and Daniel Raymond) and the Denmond Wong Orchestra (with Daniel Raymond and Jim Denley).
