Mind On Fire is a Sydney-based project formed by brothers Brad and Sam Gill. Since forming in 2017, they have developed a unique approach to blending improvisation and experimental composition, amassing a substantial body of work for duo and expanded formations with esteemed collaborating performers.
In recent years, their most frequent collaborator has been 2023 Freedman Jazz Fellow, clarinettist Phillippa Murphy-Haste. Together, the trio will revisit Brad's expansive suite 'Harmatia', and premiere Sam's new trio version of 'Counterprotest', an extended work originally written for solo saxophone and now in its third expanded configuration.
Since forming in 2017, Mind On Fire have released three albums and an EP of original compositions and improvisations, including their most recent release “Still, Vol. 2” (Radial Sounds, 2022). They also recorded a performance for Phoenix Central Park’s video series that was released in 2020.
