Australian artist Lena Douglas (keys/piano/vocals) and Danish vocalist, songwriter and improviser Sara Flindt are coming together to present a new, collaborative duo project. Lena and Sara met while studying Masters at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen, and are now developing a show which intertwines abstracted versions of both their songs with two vocals, two keyboards, intricate textures, effects and open improvisatory forms.

"....it all hangs beautifully together in a deceptively simple manner, but you are always aware there is a shrewd compositional mind behind it". Jazz Australia”

“Green’s virtuosity bears comparison with the work of Mary Halvorson; but most of all Strange Attractors conjures the spirit of experimental guitarist Derek Bailey” Rhythms Magazine
